Late at night, Lu Qingyan and Xiao Wan found Pei Liang together.
Pei Liang naturally knew what was going on. He went out to investigate and found that no one was there, so he allowed the two of them to climb out through the round window.
Although there was something tiptoeing outside the window, Pei Liang still had to support him. Xiao Wan was naturally familiar with the road, but Lu Qingyan was in trouble when it was her turn behind him.
Since ancient times, men and women have not been close to each other. As a lady, she is still embarrassed.
Xiao Wan pushed Pei Liang away and wanted to pick up his young lady personally.
Since both of them were inexperienced, Lu Qingyan leaned out too much and fell headlong before her legs could move forward. She was holding such a weak woman, so she couldn't catch her in a panic.
At the critical moment, Pei Liang took the lead, grabbed the woman's waist and helped her upright.
Lu Qingyan covered her mouth tightly to keep from shouting. She was so shocked that her body went limp.
Pei Liang was too embarrassed to continue hugging her and quickly gave Xiao Wan a wink.
———
After pulling the two girls back to the cargo hold, Pei Liang wanted to make a small ladder to get out, otherwise it would be too troublesome to climb back and forth through the window.
The materials were easy to find, but the only thing I lacked was a saw and wooden nails.
After much deliberation, it was more convenient to go to the boat to find one. Pei Liang finally found a long ladder in the debris pile. He casually broke off a section and the length was just right.
When Yaoniang went to the toilet in the middle of the night, Pei Liang tried it and found that it was indeed convenient and easy to use.
But this Yaoniang was not shy like Lu Qingyan. When she returned, she didn't even need the ladder and had to let Pei Liang lift her in from behind.
"Shameless, haven't you always wanted to touch me? Let me touch you."
“This is not unnecessary”
"I want you to hold my butt and give you a chance to do whatever you want..."
"Someone is coming, let's go"
After Pei Liang was suddenly startled, Yaoniang hurriedly got in, taking three steps at a time.
When the man climbed in slowly along the ladder, the woman realized that she had been deceived.
"Smelly Pei Liang, you don't care about me so much!"
Yaoniang was a little sad and depressed.
"I just don't want to offend you."
Pei Liang said and touched Yaoniang's head.
"I really don't understand you. You can be a gentleman one moment, and then you're vile the next!"
Yaoniang flicked Pei Liang's hand away angrily, turned around and slipped off the sack. Just as she returned to her room, she suddenly saw Lu Qingyan standing there.
"Sister... I'm staying up so late."
"Come out and get some air, it's too stuffy inside." Lu Qingyan's gentle voice sounded more comfortable in the darkness.
"Oh" Yaoniang responded.
"Sister, don't blame me for talking too much. It's not that Brother Pei doesn't care about you, it's just that he is more conservative at heart..."
Unexpectedly, Yaoniang sneered before Lu Qingyan finished speaking:
"He is conservative at heart, so I am wild?"
Lu Qingyan, who was speechless for a moment, sighed: "My sister misunderstood, I didn't mean it this way."
"Sister, don't think too much. I know you are doing it for my own good. You are afraid that I will misunderstand Pei Liang and make you unhappy."
"Well, that's what I mean."
"I didn't say that to you, I said that to that ungrateful man."
Yaoniang turned her head and glanced at the young man who was frozen there, and she didn't get angry at all.
Pei Liang coughed and said loudly: "Since everyone can't sleep right now, how about I make an exception and talk about two people in the world?"
"Who cares about you talking?" Yaoniang crossed her shoulders.
"Sister, it's okay to listen to him. Just think of him as apologizing to you," the considerate Lu Qingyan advised from the side.
"For Sister Lu's sake, I'll spare you this time!"
Yaoniang also took advantage of the situation and got off the donkey. Lu Qingyan pulled her to the sack and found a place to sit down.
Pei Liang immediately sat up and cheered up:
"Zhan Min, ranked sixth on the list, is a character who is both good and evil. He learned swordsmanship when he was young. After reaching the peak of his swordsmanship, he switched to swordsmanship. He has a withdrawn personality and lives alone. In his hands, he can kill both good and bad people. Young Master, he has dominated the world for decades, and his actions all depend on his own will, likes and dislikes, and no one dares to provoke him easily."
"The fifth one on the list is called Ba Shituo. He is a national master of a foreign race. He is the strongest person on the surface of Motuo Mountain and has a peak cultivation level in the Nirvana realm. It is said that this person looks like a simple and honest monk on the outside, but there is a devil living in his heart. , likes to eat human flesh.”
"Cao Yu, fourth on the list, is the person I admire the most in my life. He is a true hero with the world in mind. He hates evil as much as he hates it. He is upright and upright. Anyway, all the words of praise that can be applied to him are not exaggerated..."
"Brother Pei rarely praises someone so much!" Lu Qingyan interrupted with a smile.
"Aren't you going to talk twice, why are you talking nonsense again?" Yaoniang asked with her lips curled up.
"The boat will arrive in Yujing the day after tomorrow. Three of them a day, just in time to finish talking."
Pei Liang slowed down and continued: "I have to tell you about Cao Yu's heroic deeds to see if I am exaggerating. My master once participated in one of the most thrilling battles in his life. At that time, Cao Yu had just broken through to the Nirvana realm, and Mount Motuo A group of masters were entangled and went to the East China Sea to siege. On an unknown desert island, Cao Yu faced the Eighth Master Tuo, Gong Wuyue and four masters of the golden body alone. They fought bloody battles for a day and a night, and finally lasted until the Jianghu led by Master Wugui Help arrived, and at the cost of losing an arm, he killed one of the most promising geniuses in the Nirvana Realm, the Golden Body Realm, in Moduo Mountain. He seriously injured two people, making Moduo Mountain return defeated, and he never dared to take action easily again. "
"This man is very fierce, but he has a broken arm, and he can still be ranked in the top five?" Yaoniang asked doubtfully.
"This is the reason why Cao Yu is known as the person with the most incredible cultivation qualifications in the world after the world's best Taoist priest riding a bull. He is famous for his fists. After losing his right arm, it stands to reason that his cultivation level should be greatly reduced, but the genius Always reborn in the face of adversity, he turned out to be a blessing in disguise. When he practiced boxing with his left arm, his level unexpectedly climbed all the way up. Now he has truly reached the pinnacle of Nirvana and is the biggest support for those in the righteous world!"
"Didn't you say that the Taoist who rides the green bull is the strongest person to protect the world?"
"People who have reached that level are like dragons who have seen the beginning but not the end. What they pursue all their lives is the illusory way of heaven. Ordinary grievances and grievances in the world are no longer within their sight. Unless the Lord of Motuo Mountain comes out to cause trouble in the world, otherwise Nothing in the world is worth his while.”
"It is equivalent to saying that the symbolic meaning of that Taoist is greater than the actual meaning. The two strongest people of the righteous way and the demon sect are deterring each other, and no one can take action easily."
Yaoniang felt that she had vaguely captured this meaning.
Pei Liang couldn't help but give a thumbs up, Yaoniang was absolutely right!
"It's like the sea-fixing needle. It seems useless if you keep it standing, but once it's gone, everything will be turned upside down in an instant!"
Pei Liang added meaningfully.
"I understand, I'm also curious why there are so many powerful people in the world, but the world is still fighting for years, and the people are miserable. Just send a random person to chop off the head of the alien leader. Wouldn't it be peaceful?"
"What really determines the rise and fall of the world is never some martial artist, but the general trend of the world and the king sitting in the temple. When the emperor is angry, his corpse will be scattered thousands of miles away, and the sycophant will be in power, causing trouble for thousands of years."
Pei Liang looked at Yaoniang and said.
At this time, Yaoniang suddenly glanced at Lu Qingyan, who was lowering her head. Although she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, she clearly felt that there was something strange about her.
Pei Liang also noticed it and quickly tapped Yaoniang's little head with his finger:
"Don't think too much. Mr. Lu is not a sycophant. He is a loyal and patriotic virtuous minister. He is well-known among the people. I am just making an analogy!"
"I think so. Sister Lu is so virtuous and virtuous. How can the family tradition be so bad?"
Yaoniang stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Smelly Pei Liang, who is thinking nonsense? It's because you didn't make it clear, okay?"
Yaoniang nodded Pei Liang's head again.
Lu Qingyan spoke softly at this time: "My father is upright and upright. He has never done anything corrupt or bending the law. But... later when the new emperor came to the throne, he was always suspicious of my father. In order to protect himself, he would occasionally do something to slander his name." This move is really helpless, but even so, my father has a bottom line!"
“Everyone understands that it’s always cold at high places.”
Yaoniang patted Lu Qingyan on the shoulder very considerately.
"Brother Pei, you have always had unique insights into the general trend of the world. My father is in a worrying situation now. Is there any way to solve it?"
Lu Qingyan suddenly raised her head and looked at Pei Liang, her eyes as clear as water and full of hope.
"I've never paid much attention to temple matters, so I can't provide any useful help. I can only briefly share my personal opinions for Miss Lu's consideration!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just say it..."
"Yeah, brother Pei, it doesn't matter." Lu Qingyan didn't even look at Yaoniang who looked impatient.
Pei Liang said sternly: "As the saying goes, one emperor and one minister. In order to establish his own prestige and consolidate his power, the new emperor will definitely attack the ministers who think they pose a threat to him. In addition, there are treacherous ministers instigating you to slander yourself. No matter what your name is, no matter whether you resign and go into seclusion, it is difficult to be alone. The enemy will not be merciful. The key is whether you have enough leverage to make them fear you?"
"Brother Pei's idea coincides with that of my father. Qing Yan really asked the right person."
Lu Qingyan was so happy that her voice trembled.
"Does your father have a plan?" Pei Liang continued to ask.
"My father has disciples and former officials all over the world. He said that these people are both bargaining chips and hidden dangers. Once they lose power, there will be many clowns who will pop out and bite the enemy even harder!"
"Well, your father has a thorough understanding of human nature. At critical times, these old friends who were officials in the same dynasty often make trouble, and only a handful of them really help."
"My father's most important support is a young talent from our Lu family. Now he is the governor of the northwest march of Gu Yuguan, Lu Gu, the Marquis of Anguo. He is my cousin. He is a fierce warrior and holds military power. Recently, the border war has been tense. , the imperial court cannot do without him for a moment, and the emperor is also worried about this, so he has been showing favor and care to my Lu family. "
Pei Liang listened and said nothing for a long time.
Only Yaoniang intervened: "Isn't this very good? There are people both inside and outside, both civil and military. I'm sorry that the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to your Lu family."
Lu Qingyan sighed after hearing this: "Although my sister's words are good, the close relationship between internal ministers and generals has always been the most fearful thing for the royal family. I'm afraid it will strengthen the emperor's determination to eradicate the Lu family!"
Pei Liang nodded: "I believe that with your wisdom, your father will definitely be able to imagine the huge risks involved, but at present, this is the only way and the best expedient. If there is any change in the future, be prepared early! "
"Thank you, Brother Pei, for your advice. I can only take one step at a time."
Lu Qingyan gave a blessing.
Pei Liang clapped his hands: "It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. Tomorrow is the last day."
