I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 126 Everyone is firewood, and everyone needs to be ignited [Monthly ticket plus more]

Li Xushi was standing at the entrance of the imperial city street. The sunlight shone on his face, and one could even see the tender hairs on his face.

But this young man with a gentle smile on his face casually waved his sleeves and a sword light shone, and thirty lotus lights bloomed, easily cutting off Wei Lingyu's thick and extraordinary innate true energy.

Wei Lingyu is also a figure on the Tiger Cub Monument, and his ranking is not low, at row 130, not far from the top 100.

The ranking of the Tiger Cub Monument is not just based on cultivation.

There is no saying that the 100th line is necessarily lower than the 80th line. What is judged is all aspects of these young characters.

For example, talent, opportunity, cultivation, and even the resources for practice that can be provided by family background are all included in the evaluation.

The fact that Wei Lingyu was able to make the list must have been due to the power of her Wei family, but no matter what, being ranked 130th already made her one of the rare young men of the time.

Moreover, Wei Lingyu's cultivation is definitely not low. She has already reached the stage of innate perfection. If she is given another one or two years, she will definitely be able to ascend to the Jade Palace.

The reason why she could run rampant in Xuantianjing was not entirely due to the power of the Anguo Mansion. The title of Princess Wei Lingyu did carry some weight.

But even if she is such a person, even if her cultivation is so high.

But facing the sword light casually shone by the young man at the intersection of Fusang Street not far away, Wei Lingyu had no room to resist at all, or maybe she didn't even notice the sword light coming suddenly.

At this moment.

The Princess Yuxia used her divine power to suppress the surging true energy in Yuanguanzhong, but she did not look at Li Xushi at the street corner, but at Chen Zhian.

However, Chen Zhian seemed unwilling to talk to them, and was even too lazy to look at the two people on horseback, and went straight to Fusang Street.

Wei Lingyu gritted her teeth and watched the two men disappear on Fosang Street from afar. After a few breaths, the anger on her face gradually dissipated.

"This Chen Zhian is indeed lucky enough to have climbed to the top of Old Sword Mountain."

Wei Lingyu snorted coldly: "But this young sword master can't stay in Xuantianjing forever."

Lu Shengxuan on the side was still thinking about the sword intent that Chen Zhian had just casually released.

"The sword's intent is pure and long-lasting, and Chen Zhian's slashing is free and easy... No wonder he can pull out General Fu's four-gaze sword."

When Lu Shengxuan thought about this, he remembered that Chen Zhian was standing not far away and asked him three questions loudly.

"It's clearly written in the case file that Yun Ting was dissatisfied with the suppression of my Lu family and had long been planning to rebel. The more than 400 households in Guanzhong of the Lin family and... my father were the tokens of his surrender to the two islands in the South China Sea."

"As for why he went to the North, it was because the Chu family had already laid a trap in the four states of the South China Sea, waiting for him to fall into the trap. He knew the news in advance, so he had to go to the North, hoping to sneak into the Dali territory."

"And that woman did indeed commit suicide out of fear of crime."

Lu Shengxuan took a deep breath and believed it firmly in his heart.

Wei Lingyu had already ridden away, but he stood on the street for a long time, and suddenly remembered...

It seemed that he had never been to his father's villa on Ku Lao Mountain.

What is inside...
Chen Zhian and Li Xushi returned to the courtyard.

Li Xushi took out another two kilograms of wine.

In just two months, Li Xushi turned into a little drunkard. Whenever he had free time, he would go around the capital looking for some famous wine to drink.

For example, today, he ordered the famous northern liquor "Rare in Autumn", and also got some wine from somewhere, which had already been soaked in the two jars of wine.

The two of them sat in the octagonal pavilion.

"Where have you been these days? Not in the North City Gardens?" Chen Zhian asked curiously. He went to the North City Gardens many times, but never saw Li Xushi.

Moreover, Li Xushi had not returned for several days, which made him worry for no reason.

Li Xushi replied: "Brother, the reason why I came to Xuantianjing is not because of the imperial ceremony, but because my master brought a letter and asked me to personally deliver it to Dayu Kuixing.

It’s because my master has repeatedly sent messages via flying sword, but he couldn’t find any trace of Dayu Kuixing.”

"So I took advantage of this court ceremony and the invitation from the Si family, and I came to Xuantianjing with the letter... But, I went to Xiuba Mountain early and waited for several days, but I only saw Dayu Kuixing once."

Li Xushi sighed, "At that time, Dayu Kuixing was lighting incense, so I couldn't go and talk to him. But after lighting the incense, Dayu Kuixing disappeared again. I waited for another day, but still didn't see him, so I came back."

"Send a letter to Dayu Kuixing?" Chen Zhian knew the reason why Li Xushi was not around Wangxing Palace, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He thought of what happened just now and felt a little embarrassed, so he reminded: "Among the six surnames in Dayu, the Shangyuan Lu family and the Wei family of the Duke of Anguo are both very famous, and there must be countless talented people in their family.

You offended them because of me, so you must be careful in Xuantianjing from now on."

Li Xushi took a sip of wine, still with that signature smile on his face, and said, "Brother, don't worry. They can't beat me if they come here on their own. If they want to use some conspiracy or find some stronger people to deal with me, I'm afraid they dare not."

After hearing what Li Xushi said, Chen Zhian nodded and said, "Your master is the famous Sword Master of Old Sword Mountain. It is reasonable for them not to dare to do so."

Li Xushi poured wine for Chen Zhian while shaking his head and said, "They are not afraid of my master. My master has not drawn his sword for a long time. Is it possible that on the Xuanmen stele, my old Jianshan is still ranked fourth? I am afraid that the world has forgotten my master's name.

They are afraid of my second senior brother."

"Second Senior Brother?" Chen Zhian became interested.

Li Xushi had told him before that his second senior brother seemed to be quite strict with him and was usually a serious person.

When Li Xushi mentioned his second senior brother, his face showed some fear and palpitations: "My second senior brother was born in Lv Ding, one of the three kingdoms of Daxi. He had the ambition to be a knight-errant. When he was young, he traveled to Lv Ding's country, but because he offended a great governor of Lv Ding, he was forced to go into exile in Liangqi.

Later, he got some chance and became successful in his studies. He returned to Lü Ding and killed the governor. The Lü Ding court sent Jade Palace monks to kill him. He eventually wandered around Lü Ding with a sword and dragged sixteen Jade Palace monks to death, thus becoming famous in one battle. "

"Later, he was hunted by the monks of good fortune, so he had to leave Lu Ding and go to Old Sword Mountain."

Chen Zhian was so fascinated by what he heard that he asked carefully, "How could your second senior brother, a mere knight-errant, offend the governor of Lü Dingguo?"

Li Xushi took a sip of wine and replied, "According to my second senior brother, it's not really an offense. It's just that the governor has a quirk, which is that he likes to make leather, and... it's human skin, the skin of a young girl."

Chen Zhian couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Li Xushi seemed to feel a little nauseous when he talked about this, and even retched before continuing, "So my senior brother took advantage of the fact that the Grand Governor was gathering the best men in the county to go hunting in Langdang Mountain, sneaked into the Governor's mansion, and burned all the human skins in a fire, thinking that it was a way to pray for the souls of those girls."

Chen Zhian was in awe and suddenly thought of the girl from last night.

The girl was still alive when he saw her, but she was dead today. He was afraid that her body had already been thrown into the mass grave on Ma Xiaoshan Mountain in West City.

"But your second brother finally killed the governor, so the ending is always good."

"Of course, my second senior brother would never give up his grudges. In addition, he later became my master's disciple, so no one messed with him anymore. After all... Laojian Mountain is actually a barren mountain, and there is nothing valuable there."

Chen Zhian knew what Li Xushi meant.

Laojian Mountain is the fourth most famous sect in the world!

But there were only four people in the sect and a barren mountain.

Compared with the six mountains and hundreds of disciples of Daoxuan Sect, the largest sect in Dayu, there is nothing to worry about.

If you provoke such a person, you should take advantage of their unpreparedness, send in a truly powerful person, mobilize the army, form a battle formation, block Old Sword Mountain and kill them, only then you will have a chance of winning. If they escape, the consequences will be disastrous.

Whether it is the Six Families of Dayu or the Anguo Mansion, there are too many ties between them.

The inheritance of a noble family, the status of the family, and all the descendants will suffer because of it.

Thinking about it this way, neither Wei Lingyu nor Lu Shengxuan dared to provoke Li Xushi.

So Chen Zhian felt relieved, but he was still thinking about the heroic deeds of his second senior brother Li Xushi.

He had quite a bit of admiration in his heart. He would fight against injustice when he saw it, and he would draw his sword with all his might. In the end, he was able to survive and even avenge himself. It was truly extraordinary.

"Xu Shi, what's your second brother's name?"

"Eh... now that I think about it, my senior brother's last name is also Chen, and his name is Chen Changli."

Chen Zhian smiled and nodded, "Maybe it's my family?"

Li Xushi actually thought about it carefully and asked, "Brother, are your ancestors also from the Great Xi Sect?"

Chen Zhian shook his head: "My father said that my family has lived in Dayu for generations... I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

"But... your second brother's character is really admirable."

There was a sigh in his tone and a hint of regret in his eyes.

Li Xushi, who was usually a bit slow, seemed to become sharper after drinking: "Brother, what happened to you?"

Chen Zhian drank the wine in his glass and suddenly asked, "Can your sword energy block out sound?"

"Of course." Li Xushi casually poured out a cup of Nanfengqiu, and a sword intent... or perhaps something more mysterious burst out from it.

The glass of wine was immediately shocked and turned into a very fine mist, covering the small courtyard.

Chen Zhian discovered that every bit of water mist actually contained a ray of sword energy.

He felt relieved and told Li Xushi about the incident in detail. Then he asked, "Xushi, come and tell me... Just from the absurdity revealed in the file, even if you use your toes to think, you know that General Yun is innocent, but General Yun is going to be executed, and there are even people who claim to be from the Lin family to die to protest their injustice.

Now that woman has died strangely again, and some even say that she died out of fear of committing a crime..."

"I have never met General Yun, but that 17 or 18-year-old girl almost died in front of me. I wanted to save her and did write a letter to her, but she still died.

That bothered me a little bit.”

At this point, he suddenly laughed at himself, "I am just an eighth-rank Che Yi Lang, an ordinary painter, and my cultivation is only at the level of unpolished jade, not even at the level of innate... Now I am confused, but I seem to want to meddle in other people's business and find out why General Yun was executed."

Li Xushi was about to drink, but when he heard what Chen Zhian said, he suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Chen Zhian carefully and said...

"Brother, this is what makes you different from most people in Xuantianjing, Dayu, and even the entire world."

Chen Zhian was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Li Xushi said to Chen Zhian carefully: "Master once told me that the people in the courts of Daqian, Dali, Dayu, and the old Daxi Kingdom don't care what the truth is."

Chen Zhian's expression gradually became more serious.

Li Xushi continued, "It's because in the eyes of those who observe the world, everyone is a chess piece, everyone is firewood, and everyone is to be ignited. The only thing to see is whether they are worth being ignited."

Chen Zhian was silent, and a huge bell was ringing in his mind.

"Perhaps the truth is not important, and perhaps the officials fighting among themselves in the court all know the truth.

Maybe General Yun deserved to die and be beheaded, or maybe General Yun was indeed innocent...

Or maybe he didn't deserve to die, but was just ignited, and his execution was the result of the interweaving and exchange of interests among all parties. "

Chen Zhian suddenly remembered that he had asked Prince Duanque: "Does the saint in Xuantian Palace know how poorly the case file of General Yun is handled? Does he know that General Yun is innocent?"

Prince Duanque did not answer...

"The highest being is always blinded and kind..."

A gust of wind blew by, and Chen Zhian suddenly felt colder.

He shook his head to shake off the cold.

Li Xushi seemed to be a little drunk, and stammered, "Brother, you are in Xuantianjing, please don't become burning firewood."

Chen Zhian smiled and whispered to Li Xushi, "Actually, I tell you, the emperor or the noble family has nothing to do with me.

I just wanted to hold the whip and make my mother walk out of Hongdou Courtyard, so that they wouldn't have to use their true energy to pressure me when they first saw me, or write a "get out" on a piece of paper for me. "

"But today, I suddenly have more thoughts. If I can hold that whip, will the innocent woman not have to die?"

"If she is not innocent, can I also check why she is not innocent and why General Yun wants to kill people?"

Li Xushi looked at him with some confusion.

Chen Zhian spoke in a low voice, seemingly talking to Li Xushi, but also as if he was talking to himself.

"If someone wants me to hold the seal, of course I will hold the seal!"

"I want to climb all the way up to a higher place and take a closer look at how many dirty things are going on in Xuantianjing."

Li Xushi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay!"

-

Song Xiqu was still in his small courtyard on Baishou Street.

He lay on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed to rest until it got dark, then he opened his eyes.

A breeze blew, and the buds of a tea tree in the yard rustled.

He opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his old face.

"it is good."

"You come and try to cleanse the filth of the world of Dayu."

Song Xiqu whispered something, then lay down again, reciting another line of poetry, his tone full of desolation and yearning.

"A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, so who is afraid?"

"A misty rain Ren Pingsheng."
