Su Ming was stunned, and Ji Ruxue also showed a look of surprise, "Xingyun is back."
Outside the door, the sound of disordered footsteps and unclear voices gradually approached, "Brother, I forgot, didn't you say there was another in the room..."
"Two people!" As the words fell, the door was kicked open.
The air suddenly became quiet. Neither the drunken Li Xingyun nor Li Cunyi, who was holding a wine gourd, had expected such a scene in the house.
"Ok?"
Li Xingyun tried hard to open his confused eyes wide, trying to see the situation in the room clearly. Suddenly, his eyes focused on the Longquan sword behind Su Ming.
Longquan sword?
His drunkenness dissipated a little in an instant, and he stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
At this moment, Su Ming made his move. He took a step, flashed in front of Li Xingyun, gathered all his internal strength, and blasted out with a palm.
The extremely strong and masculine true energy exuded a hot breath. Li Xingyun could even feel the heat from Su Ming's palm. When the crisis came, he subconsciously used his palm to counterattack.
Both of them practiced Tiangang Jue and were at similar levels, but Li Xingyun acted hastily and lacked strength. In addition, he was drunk and out of shape, so he was knocked back several steps by Su Ming's palm.
Realizing the crisis was coming, Li Xingyun shuddered all over, sobered up immediately, his eyes became clear, and he rushed forward again.
Su Ming was not willing to be outdone. The two sides fought in a mess, using their palms, fingers, fists and feet, and each move was full of power. Li Cun Yi only saw two afterimages flashing in the room, and soon the room was destroyed.
After testing Li Xingyun's martial arts level, Su Ming seized the opportunity, used the force to exit the room, took off the Longquan sword behind him and threw it at Li Xingyun, then disappeared.
Li Cunyi walked out of the room, looked at the Longquan sword in his hand, and asked in confusion, "Brother, what's going on?"
Li Xingyun weighed the Longquan sword in his hand and found that it was the real thing. He was a little puzzled, but he had a guess in his mind.
This person is quite powerful. He came here specifically to hand over the Longquan Sword to him. Who else could it be except the bad guys under Yuan Tiangang?
When he thought of Yuan Tiangang, Li Xingyun felt as if his heart was shrouded in a layer of haze that lasted for a long time.
Li Cunyi, who was standing by, was still in a daze. He burped and muttered, "I drank a little too much today."
Li Xingyun looked at him deeply without saying anything. He walked into the room, took out the Huayang needle and unblocked the acupoints for Ji Ruxue. However, when unblocking the acupoints, he found that this acupoint pressing method did not seem to be the method of Central Plains.
But he didn't think much about it. He looked Ji Ruxue up and down and asked with concern, "Xue'er, are you okay?"
Ji Ruxue shook her head, "Xingyun, I'm fine. How are you? Did that person hurt you?"
Li Xingyun glanced around and asked in confusion, "I'm fine, that person has no intention of killing. Why are you alone? Where is Chi Meng?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, Ji Ruxue's face suddenly turned gloomy, with coldness and hostility in her eyes.
Seeing her expression, Li Xingyun felt sick all over.
······
Su Ming walked in the Qingcheng Mountains, strolling leisurely. The jungle was dense, the trees were quiet, the birds were singing, the insects were chirping, the breeze was blowing, and the flowers were fragrant. He was enjoying the beautiful scenery while he was on his way.
Li Xingyun's strength was the same as he guessed. They were both at the Zhongtian level and their internal strength was similar, but Li Xingyun also knew the Qinglian Sword Song.
This is not a coincidence, but Yuan Tiangang's deliberate control, otherwise how could their progress in martial arts be exactly the same.
Soon, Su Ming returned to the Soldier Storage Valley.
After reporting to Yuan Tiangang, he went to visit Meng Po and asked her for advice on the art of disguise.
For seven consecutive days, Su Ming learned the art of disguise from her, and the relationship between the two gradually became familiar, no longer as unfamiliar as before.
Of course, Su Ming did not dare to overstep the line in the slightest, nor did he ask about her true identity. This was her taboo and also Yuan Tiangang's order, which Meng Po would not easily disobey.
In the courtyard, Meng Po pointed at Su Ming's face and said, "Your disguise skills are almost perfect. It will be no problem for you to pretend to be Li Xingyun. Just pay attention to some details so that people who are familiar with you won't see through you."
Su Ming was extremely grateful and bowed to her solemnly, "Thank you, Meng Po."
Meng Po shook her head slightly and didn't take it to heart. "No need to thank me. It's just my job. I want to reorganize the Xuanming Sect. You'd better be careful." The last sentence was obviously meaningful.
"I see."
Meng Po looked at him deeply, then slowly left with her crutches.
After Meng Po left, Su Ming also left the Cangbing Valley and stayed here, isolated from the world. He was surrounded by bad people. His status was not high, and he could not get any news from Li Xingyun.
In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, he must go to Shuzhong and find out Li Xingyun's movements.
However, Su Ming did not go to the Sword Pavilion in Qingcheng Mountain, but went to Chengdu.
Now Ji Ruxue has been poisoned by a witch witch and is controlled by the Witch King. There is one thing she needs to get rid of the witch witch witch, and that is the Book of Tears and Blood. This thing can help a person replace his blood and it is extremely magical.
More importantly, this thing is related to Hou Qing, one of the four corpse ancestors of Xuanming Sect. The four corpse ancestors of Xuanming Sect are in appearance but not in spirit. They have been away from Xuanming Sect for many years, but their skills are basically above the Great Heaven Level and their combat power is extremely high.
If possible, Su Ming wants to win them over to serve him. If not, there will be no loss for him. Anyway, he will appear as a bad guy and will not reveal his true identity. After all, he is the "trump card" of the bad commander.
The land of Shu is a land of abundance with fertile soil covering thousands of miles. The military governors from all over the Central Plains were fighting against each other and the people were living in misery. However, the land of Shu was spared from the war due to its geographical location and it seemed like a paradise.
On the street, people come and go, and merchants from all over the world gather here, creating a prosperous scene.
Since the death of Li Cunxu of Jin, Shuzhong broke away from the control of the court and became separatist again. The person who controlled Shuzhong at this time was Meng Zhixiang, who was a close confidant of Li Cunxu and quite strategic.
After arriving in Chengdu, Su Ming has been collecting news from the Central Plains. As he expected, the State of Jin, now known as the Later Tang, has been controlled by Li Siyuan.
Unfortunately, Qi State was complacent and Li Maozhen did not take advantage of the death of Li Cunxu and the chaos in the Later Tang Dynasty to send troops, thus missing out on the opportunity to grow stronger.
The princes are fighting for hegemony, and if they don't advance, they will retreat. These people are really incompetent.
However, when Su Ming thought that the one who was in charge of Qi State now was not Li Maozhen but the empress, he felt relieved. It was already not easy for a woman to maintain Qi State, let alone expand and dominate.
The Wu Kingdom had already been established in the south, and there were many military governors of all sizes, but the country was in constant internal strife and was unable to look north.
It can be said that after Li Cunxu's death, the world situation, which had been tending to be stable, suddenly fell into war.
Chapter 5: The Unpromising Li Xingyun
After wandering around in Chengdu for a few days, Su Ming still couldn't find the corpse driver. He was not Li Xingyun and did not have the information channels of the Bad People. It was too difficult to find a person in Chengdu like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, not finding Hou Qing in Chengdu did not mean that he had no other gains, because he met Chi Meng and Ji Ruxue by chance.
Su Ming originally wanted to follow them to find Hou Qing, but he discovered that people from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave were following them, and Li Xingyun and Li Cunyi were also hiding in the dark.
In the end, he could only let it go and continue to hide.
But before he found an opportunity, Yuan Tiangang ordered the Bad Guys to send him a message. He was not curious at all about how Yuan Tiangang found him, because it was not a simple thing for him to find someone when he had the Bad Guys.
It was night, the full moon was high in the sky, Su Ming was standing in the room looking at the sky, he was waiting for someone.
Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang's ghostly voice sounded behind him, "When did you come to Chengdu?"
Su Ming turned around and saluted, then replied, "Your Excellency, I have been here seven days ago."
Yuan Tiangang put his hands behind his back, his powerful aura was intimidating without even getting angry, "Are you here to look for Li Xingyun?"
Su Ming's heart sank, and he said calmly, "I can't hide anything from you. Since the Marshal has given me the opportunity, I will definitely seize it. Marshal, don't worry, I will not interfere with Li Xingyun, nor will I reveal my identity. I just want to know his recent actions to prevent any mistakes that may affect your plan."
Yuan Tiangang obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't care. He looked away from him and said, "It's better this way. I will make arrangements for Li Xingyun. As for you, go back to where you came from!"
Hearing this, Su Ming's expression froze, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only bow his head and say, "I obey your command."
When he raised his head again, Yuan Tiangang had disappeared.
Su Ming came to the window, looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Tomorrow will be another good day. He already knew how to survive Yuan Tiangang's plan.
······
Because of Chi Meng, the witch king's control over Ji Ruxue was affected, and Yuan Tiangang's plan was affected, prompting him to come to Shu in person to meet with the witch king and drive him to complete his plan.
You Chuan, who was sent by the Witch King to carry out the mission, and Chi Meng were childhood sweethearts. He helped Chi Meng many times and also indirectly helped Li Xingyun. As time went by, the puppet sent by the Witch King failed to kill Chi Meng, but was killed instead. The Witch King's order failed again.
Fortunately, the witchcraft on Ji Ruxue was broken, and Yuan Tiangang's plan could continue.
······
The night is as dark as water, and dark clouds cover the earth.
"drive!"
On the official road, two figures on horseback raised clouds of dust, and the place they were going to was Mawei Posthouse, where Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty sentenced Yang Guifei to death.
In the suburbs, the land was desolate and there were a few crows hanging on an old crooked tree, croaking.
Under the guidance of Ji Ruxue, Li Xingyun came to a cemetery. From the mottled handwriting on the tombstone, one could faintly recognize four words: "Tomb of Concubine Yang".
Li Xingyun was not surprised to see the scene in front of him, as he had already anticipated Ji Ruxue's condition.
The two of them then stepped into the underground palace. Along the way, there were rockery floating on the water, pavilions surrounded by green bamboos, and water from the waterfall falling down, spreading across the ground like pearls and jade, making tinkling sounds and refracting wonderful light.
The exquisite towers, elegant pavilions, and beautiful marble complement each other and are magnificent, but the lighting is a little dim, making it look dilapidated. What is strange is that there is no one in this huge palace complex.
In the Hall of Longevity, Su Ming wore a black robe and stood with his hands behind his back. He had prepared for this day for a long time and had done a lot of homework.
But when that day finally came, he still couldn't calm down.
Everything will be different from today on.
In order to calm his mind, Su Ming shifted his attention to the interior of the hall.
The towering palace has doorposts and floors made of spotless green jade, and is covered with glazed tiles. Under the eaves, huge white cranes dance with their slender shadows slanting across the sky.
The palace complex outside is just ordinary; the Hall of Eternal Life is truly luxurious and magnificent. On the white jade throne lies a statue of a concubine cast in gold.
Yang Guifei was propped up with her arms, her eyes slightly closed, just like a sleeping crabapple in spring, with all kinds of graces. The floor was made of white marble, extending to her feet, and the dome was inlaid with luminous pearls, each of which was the size of a fist. There were more than thousands of them, making the Changsheng Hall the color of fine jade and as bright as day.
It is unknown how much manpower and resources must have been consumed to build this underground palace. After the An-Shi Rebellion, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was far less than before. Emperor Minghuang of Tang at that time was still able to build such a luxurious palace. It is hard to imagine how powerful the Tang Dynasty was during its heyday when all nations came to pay tribute.
The footsteps came from far away, and as the door slowly opened, Li Xingyun and Ji Ruxue stepped into the hall.
At this moment, Li Xingyun called Ji Ruxue, "Xue'er, wait a minute."
Just as Ji Ruxue turned around, two Huayang needles were inserted into her sleeping acupoints. She just called Li Xingyun and fell into a deep sleep. Li Xingyun hugged her, gently put her on the ground, and looked at her affectionately, "The road is too long, you have worked hard."
After settling Ji Ruxue, Li Xingyun stood up from the ground, looked up and scanned the surroundings, and said loudly, "You took so much trouble to lead me here, come out."
In the back hall, Su Ming looked at Yuan Tiangang on the side, and seeing that he had no intention of moving, he realized that it was time for him to make his debut.
He took a step and appeared in the hall as if he had teleported.
The moment he saw him, Li Xingyun recognized him as the man who had given him the Longquan Sword in the Sword House at Qingcheng Mountain. "It's you! You are indeed the Bad Commander's man!"
Su Ming didn't say anything and took action directly.
Because this is in line with the temperament of the fake Li Xingyun, and it is also the purpose of Yuan Tiangang letting him come out first, in order to arouse Li Xingyun's fighting spirit.
He slipped his feet and slapped out with a loud bang. Today's Li Xingyun was completely different from the drunk Li Xingyun that day. Every move he made was extremely ruthless and aimed at killing people.
Su Ming did not hold back either. His body was as fast as lightning, and he was overwhelmed. Except for the Lingbo Weibu which was useless, he could be said to have given it his all.
