After a while, Yuan Tiangang stopped and left after saying, "Practice well. Tomorrow, bring Ji Ruxue to Jianlu to find me!"

At this time, Li Xingyun was busy breaking through the barrier and had no time to pay attention to Yuan Tiangang's words.

With the utmost strength and masculinity, and the same Tiangang Jue internal force as a foundation, Li Xingyun quickly broke through the bottleneck, reached the Great Heaven Realm, and entered the category of contemporary masters.

Chapter 220 Hou Qing meets the Marshal!

After finishing the practice, it was almost dawn.

Li Xingyun returned to the room. Ji Ruxue was sleeping soundly. He came to the bedside and looked at her peaceful sleeping face. Struggle, sadness and fear flashed in his eyes.

At this time, he seemed very helpless. He was not as calm and composed as he was in front of others. In front of Ji Ruxue, he had to maintain a stable posture.

And when she can't see, Li Xingyun's weak side will be revealed, which she will never see, because this is the strength that belongs to a man, licking his wounds silently in an empty corner, and all that is left for her is the sky that he holds up.

After a moment, his depressed mood disappeared and he returned to being the reliable and gentle husband, "Xue'er, get up."

On the bed, Ji Ruxue opened her eyes and saw Li Xingyun's gentle face. "Xingyun, when did you come back?"

"I came back in the middle of the night last night. You were sleeping soundly and I didn't wake you up." He reached out and stroked her face, saying softly.

Since getting married on the island, Li Xingyun has been becoming more and more like a good family husband. Her shadow is everywhere in everyone's eyes. Along the way, the entire team is overwhelmed by the deep love between the young couple.

Especially the group of bad guys who followed the team, they looked at him with more and more unfriendly eyes. They are working hard here, busying around, and you, Li Xingyun, are here traveling around with your wife and showing off your love?

Those who can be brought by Meng Po to follow Li Xingyun to search for the Longquan treasure are undoubtedly the elite among the bad people and are very reliable, but people have thoughts and their own thinking and judgment.

This is especially true when these people know the truth.

The Li Xingyun in front of them was very different from the person they imagined. In their imagination, the person chosen by the Marshal should be wise and brave, intelligent and decisive, and a genius. These had nothing to do with the Li Xingyun in front of them.

People's hearts change little by little silently.

After resting for a day in Chengdu Prefecture, Li Wentong prepared to take everyone to search for places with rotten soil in Shu. Places like this are rare.

At the same time, Yuan Tiangang was meeting with someone.

……

"Hou Qing, I meet the Marshal!"

In the Sword Pavilion of Qingcheng Mountain, Hou Qing, dressed in fluttering white clothes and looking like a peerless handsome man, stood respectfully in the pavilion with a very respectful attitude.

"Hou Qing, you have lived a carefree life over the past decade." Yuan Tiangang stood with his hands behind his back, his voice as hoarse as ever, without a trace of emotion.

"Since parting with the others and leaving Xuanming Sect, Hou Qing has been traveling around and seen many new things. These years have been quite fulfilling. I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as charming as ever." Hou Qing had a red umbrella tied around his waist, and his voice was mellow and very magnetic.

"Corpse driver, haha, I see that you have practiced the Kung Fu of Tears of Blood quite well, do you still have any weak points?" Yuan Tiangang asked casually as his gaze lingered on the red umbrella for a moment.

"Marshal, you are joking. In this world, except for you, who else can practice martial arts to the level of having no weaknesses?" Hou Qing did not give a direct answer, but praised Yuan Tiangang.

After finishing his polite words, Yuan Tiangang went straight to the point without further ado, "Don't flatter me. I asked you to come here this time because I want you to do something!"

"Please give your orders, Marshal."

"I want you to use the Blood Weeping Record to replace the blood of a person. You must ensure the safety of this person. Do you understand?"

Hou Qing took a few deep breaths and said, "Don't worry, Marshal. As long as we find the right person for the blood transfusion, it won't involve life. Who do you want to transfuse blood with?"

"Ji Ruxue!"

Upon hearing these three words, Hou Qing's body trembled. He was not unfamiliar with this name. He had come into contact with him before because of Chi Meng, but it ended in nothing later.

But now, the situation is different from the past. Li Xingyun is already the emperor. Is it appropriate for me to replace the blood of his people?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he denied it because this was Yuan Tiangang's order. No one in the world could go against his will, not even Li Xingyun.

"Okay, leave this to me. I'll find someone to do the blood transfusion tomorrow."

"This matter must be done well!"

Yuan Tiangang took a step forward and passed by Hou Qing. After he finished speaking, his figure suddenly moved forward several feet. When he looked again, he had disappeared.

Even though he had already left, Hou Qing still bowed his head and saluted, saying in a deep voice, "Hou Qing, I respectfully send you off, Marshal!"

After a long time, he stood up straight, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Hou Qing had been in Shu all the time, and only knew about the affairs of the martial arts world and various news from Luoyang. He was not qualified to know such top secrets as the real and fake Li Xingyun.

But even if he didn't know the inside story, he was able to keenly sense the unusualness through Yuan Tiangang's actions. Combined with the fact that Li Xingyun left Luoyang and went south to look for the Longquan treasure, he sensed an inexplicable crisis.

After all, Hou Qing was a man who had seen big scenes and his sense of current affairs was much sharper than that of ordinary people. He clearly felt that Yuan Tiangang did not seem to have much respect for the emperor, not as respectful as he had imagined.

The Tang Dynasty has been restored, why does he have this attitude?

For a moment, Hou Qing was a little confused.

……

The next day, Li Xingyun comforted Ji Ruxue and went to Qingcheng Mountain alone.

The lush forest, the quiet and peaceful scenery, the beautiful mountains and clear waters, climbing up the steps opened up by our predecessors, the familiar scenes come to my mind again.

When he arrived at Jianlu and looked at the moss on the door and the weeds in the courtyard, for some reason he felt a little homesick.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and what came into view was an old courtyard and three people standing there.

"I've been waiting for a long time, and you're finally here."

"The person who can cure Xue'er must be him." Li Xingyun cast his gaze towards Hou Qing who was standing next to Yuan Tiangang, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Hou Qing also secretly looked at Li Xingyun. This was the first time they met, but their impressions of each other were average.

In Li Xingyun's eyes, Hou Qing looked like a pretty boy and a sissy, and his attitude was almost the same as when he first saw Zhang Zifan.

In Hou Qing's eyes, the man in front of him did not have the slightest dignity of an emperor. Apart from his decent looks, there was nothing special about him.

Yuan Tiangang was here, and neither of them showed any emotion. Hou Qing bowed first, "I am Hou Qing, and I am honored to meet your Majesty."

His Majesty?

Li Xingyun was stunned at first, then he reacted. It seemed that he had never heard the title of "Your Majesty" from anyone else. This was the first time.

Then, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Hou Qing carefully, and asked, "Hou Qing? Are you one of the four corpse ancestors of Xuanming Sect?"

"Thank you for your praise. The title of Corpse Ancestor is not worthy of its title." Hou Qing said modestly.

Chapter 221 I’m so stupid, really

"So it's the Corpse Ancestor. My apologies." Knowing that the person in front of him was the Corpse Ancestor of the Xuanming Sect, Li Xingyun's attitude became much more enthusiastic, and he stepped forward and held his hand.

"Don't call me Your Majesty, it sounds too awkward. Just call me by my name."

In an instant, Hou Qing only felt a gust of wind blowing, and his whole body was petrified.

Is this the emperor? Why doesn't he look like one?

No, there are rumors in the martial arts world that the emperor sent King Qi and King Jin to look for the Longquan treasure?

How come Li Xingyun came in person now and there was no news at all? At this moment, Hou Qing realized it belatedly and finally discovered the blind spot.

He looked at Li Xingyun, then at Yuan Tiangang, with a complicated expression. He found that he seemed to have fallen into a pit, into Yuan Tiangang's big pit.

As early as when Yuan Tiangang sent someone to summon him, he knew that something bad was going to happen. He noticed something unusual when he saw him yesterday. He didn't expect that today, he would actually see Li Xingyun here.

Who is the emperor in Luoyang City?

What is the purpose behind the search for the Longquan treasure?

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he felt mixed emotions.

Hou Qing's reaction was within Yuan Tiangang's expectations, but he had no intention of explaining. Instead, he looked at Li Xingyun and said, "Li Xingyun, I have brought the person to you. You must handle the matter well."

At this time, Li Xingyun turned his attention to Yuan Tiangang, "Before, you said that the Blood-Crying Record could replace Xue'er's blood and wash away the Gu in her blood. I guess the person who can use the Blood-Crying Record is Hou Qing."

At this point, he paused, a hint of toughness flashed across his face, "I will not forget what I promised you, and I will not regret it, but before this is done, I must see with my own eyes that Xue'er is safe and sound. Only in this way can I feel at ease to look for the Longquan treasure."

"What are they talking about? I don't understand." The conversation between the two made Hou Qing confused. He was not sure about the relationship between them.

The emperor who has already ascended the throne is in this state in front of Yuan Tiangang and is even in a weak position. What is going on?

Logically speaking, Yuan Tiangang was a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and was determined to restore the Tang Dynasty. Now that Li Xingyun is the emperor, why does he have this attitude? It seems that he doesn't regard him as the emperor at all.

But if that was the case, why did he need to help Li Xingyun take the top position? Just to set up a puppet target?

Hearing that Li Xingyun was going to postpone the search for the Longquan treasure for Ji Ruxue, Yuan Tiangang also became angry. This reminded him of the former Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, "Li Xingyun, do you want to take advantage of me?" The hoarse voice contained cold anger.

In an instant, Li Xingyun and Hou Qing felt a huge force coming towards them, which made them feel a little breathless.

The girl who was brought by Hou Qing to be used as a tool for blood transfusion was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, holding her head with her hands, like a frightened quail.

Li Xingyun gritted his teeth and withstood Yuan Tiangang's pressure, staring at him intently without the slightest fear. "This is not asking for more, but your promise in the past that you would let us return to the mountains and forests after the matter of the Longquan treasure is settled. Before finding the Longquan treasure, I must see Xue'er recover with my own eyes, otherwise, I will never do as you wish!"

Finished!

At the same time, Hou Qing's pupils shrank, his already pale face became even paler, and he looked completely dumbfounded.

I'm so stupid, really.

I only knew that Yuan Tiangang wanted to ask me for help, but I didn't expect that there was such a big trap in it. The matter of Longquan treasure was settled, and Li Xingyun was going to retire from the world?

If he retires from society, who will be the emperor?

Why did Yuan Tiangang agree to such a ridiculous condition?

Is this something I can listen to? Will Yuan Tiangang want to silence me?

In an instant, Hou Qing imagined countless scenes in his mind. When he came to his senses and wanted to open his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to say.

"Do you really want to do this?"

"I can ignore everything else, but you must do this!" Li Xingyun refused to give in.

Just for a moment, Yuan Tiangang almost wanted to slap him to death. It has come to this, and he is still playing tricks on him.

People have been found, a treatment method has been found, and everything is going according to plan. At this time, you insist on stopping. How can Yuan Tiangang not be angry?

Dealing with a person like this, no matter how kind-hearted he is, he can't stand him wearing away his patience bit by bit.

Yuan Tiangang sighed secretly, and the anger in his eyes slowly dissipated. "Okay, I promise you that you don't have to worry about the Longquan treasure until Ji Ruxue recovers."

Although Yuan Tiangang used every possible means, his reputation with Li Xingyun was still very good. After getting the guarantee, Li Xingyun stopped resisting and softened his attitude a lot.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become dull, Hou Qing quickly stepped forward and said, "Marshal, the people for the blood transfusion have been found. Can you take a look?" As he said that, he pulled up the girl lying on the ground.

Looking at the thin girl in front of him who was wearing coarse clothes but whose beautiful looks could not be concealed, Yuan Tiangang glanced at her and nodded slightly.

Hou Qing is a face-obsessed person, so naturally the person he finds won’t be a bad one.
