Way of the heavens system

Chapter 42
Ba Fenghan was slightly taken aback, but he didn't feel humiliated or angry, he just said coldly: "Okay!"

After finishing speaking, he struggled to get up, staggered to the side of the carriage, took the reins, and said, "As long as I live, I will continue to challenge you, and one day I will defeat you and surpass you."

Li Chengyu ignored him, got into the carriage and said: "Go to Meiling."

A flash of shame and anger flashed in Ba Fenghan's eyes. It was more painful to ignore him than to kill him. He whipped the horse whip bitterly. The horse was so painful that it pulled the carriage as fast as it could fly on the official road.

Not long after, the low hills on the Meiling Ridge were already in sight, and the freshness of green bamboos mixed with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafted over.

Li Chengyu helped the brothers and sisters of the Tang family out of the carriage, and said: "Take care of the carriage, we are going up the mountain for an outing."

Ba Fenghan obviously did a good job of mental construction all the way, so he just responded lightly: "Okay."

Li Chengyu didn't care, so he was about to set off. Suddenly, there was the sound of galloping horseshoes behind him. After a little identification, it was Sanqi. Before he could turn around, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother Li, be merciful!"

The sound of hoofbeats rumbled quickly from far to near. Three knights were riding on horseback. Two of them were familiar faces. They were Yangzhou Shuanglong Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. The two of them first glanced at Ba Fenghan, who was in good health, and suddenly felt sad in their hearts. Dashi raised his hands towards Li Chengyu and called out: "Brother Li, we meet again."

The person behind them is a suave and suave young man, holding a folding fan with pictures of beauties in a gentle manner, and he is looking at Li Chengyu with interest.

Li Chengyu greeted Shuanglong, then smiled and asked the young gentleman: "You are the 'passionate son' Hou Xibai, right? Is there a flower on my face?"

Hou Xibai was startled, then cupped his hands and said apologetically, "I'm taking the liberty, but I've heard a lot about Brother Li's deeds, so now I'm very curious in person."

Li Chengyu asked again: "Then what did you see?"

Hou Xibai showed a helpless expression, and sighed: "But I don't know which fairy mountain Brother Li is from, and which cave is where the immortals practice."

Li Chengyu laughed out loud, knowing that he was intentionally teasing, but he didn't arouse disgust at all. Instead, he felt that this person was extremely humorous. Charm, natural closeness.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling took advantage of this gap to inquire about the situation with Ba Fenghan, when Li Chengyu asked them why they came, Kou Zhong smiled and said: "We have just arrived in Shuzhong recently, and we have heard about your reputation. Feng Shihan is determined to challenge the masters of the Central Plains, when he heard about your deeds, he couldn't help but rushed to Chengdu to find you for a martial arts competition, we were worried that this ice tree would anger you, so we came after you together."

Li Chengyu smiled and said: "You are still late, he is now my coachman."

Kou and Xu couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, just now Ba Fenghan wouldn't tell them about this matter, so he couldn't help feeling that it was very absurd.

Hou Xibai sighed: "It seems that Brother Babai is convinced, and indeed there is no one worthy of his reputation."

Li Chengyu invited: "We are about to go for an outing in the mountains. Since you are here, it is a good time to play together."

The three readily agreed, and looked at Ba Fenghan again, Li Chengyu said indifferently: "He is the coachman now, so he should be guarding beside the cart."

The three of them couldn't help showing embarrassment when they heard the words. They felt that leaving their brothers alone here and going up the mountain to play by themselves made them uncomfortable.

Ba Fenghan stood up straight, and said impatiently with a cold face: "Let him go, since I promised to be his coachman, I will definitely abide by my duties."

At this time, Li Chengyu had already taken the Tang brothers and sisters to leave first, and the three of them also wanted to take advantage of the time to beg for Ba Fenghan's favor, so they winked at him and followed Li Chengyu up the mountain.

The scenery on Meiling is really unique, there are no shortage of streams, waterfalls and strange rocks, and the mountains are full of lush green bamboos and proud plum trees. Ideal, the atmosphere is harmonious, and everyone is at ease.

During this time, Kou Zhong mentioned the matter of Ba Fenghan and couldn't help pleading for him.

Li Chengyu replied with a smile: "That friend of yours is an extremely domineering and arrogant person, and he will definitely not want you to intercede for him."

The three of them were all silent. After a moment, Xu Ziling said: "We also know it, but Brother Ba is our dead brother. Seeing him suffering now, we also feel the same."

Li Chengyu nodded and said: "In that case, I will give him his freedom for the sake of the three of you. But now that he regards me as his target, he may not be willing to leave."

Hou Xibai thanked softly: "Brother Li's words are enough. As for Brother Ba's final choice, we can't interfere."

In the afternoon, several people returned from their excitement and came to the foot of the mountain. From a distance, they saw Ba Fenghan standing like an old pine beside the carriage. His left and right hands were respectively placed on the swords, his eyes were closed, and his whole body was enveloped in a sharp aura. Among them, it seems to be practicing.

Sensing the arrival of several people, he suddenly opened his eyes, as if sword energy and sword energy shot out, overflowing with brilliance.

Kou, Xu, and Bai informed him of Li Chengyu's decision on the mountain, but he refused: "If I want to regain my freedom, I should get it with the sword in my hand, and I don't need others' charity."

The three of them also knew his nature and stopped trying to persuade him.

They returned to the city soon and informed each other of their residences. When parting, Kou Zhong invited: "Brother Li, we will go find you for a drink in a few days."

Li Chengyu said: "I will leave Shuzhong tomorrow and head to Chang'an."

Kou and Xu looked at each other and asked again: "Did Brother Li go there for the treasure house?"

Li Chengyu had no intention of hiding it, and nodded and said: "You also know that I have always been interested in those weird things, so the Evil Emperor's relics in Mr. Yang's treasure house are exactly what I am determined to get."

When Hou Xibai heard this, the folding fan in his hand paused, and he couldn't help asking: "But the evil emperor's relic held by the evil emperors of the past?"

Li Chengyu nodded, and Hou Xibai sighed: "It is something that the two factions and six paths are determined to obtain. According to legend, it contains the essence of the evil emperors of the past, and it is extremely miraculous."

Several people said a few more words, and each said goodbye, Ba Fenghan replaced himself as the coachman, and followed Li Chengyu back to the inn to settle down.

In the early morning of the next day, after bidding farewell to Kou, Xu and Bai who came to see them off, as well as the reluctant brothers and sisters of the Tang family, Li Chengyu took Ba Fenghan and boarded the merchant ship of the Tang family to Chang'an.

When it comes against the current, it naturally goes with the trend when it goes out. The speed is more than doubled, and soon it leaves Shu, sails into the Yangtze River, and goes away with the current.
