Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 261 259. Meet (please subscribe)

Early winter, light snowfall, thirteen years have passed since the death of the Human Emperor.

However, in a short period of time, the emperor had been replaced in Zhongjing, and the prosperity that belonged to the warriors had been wiped away.

At this time, a line of ox carts, surrounded by cavalry, carried commercial goods, with bells hanging on them, jingling. People in the distance hurriedly avoided it, and then stepped aside and pointed, seeming to be chatting. Where did it come from?

"It's earthly jewelry."

On the driver's seat, Meng Xingxian just glanced at it and knew the answer. She muttered casually.

In the car, Ying Zhuo Yao asked curiously: "How do you know?"

She asked for Li Yuan.

The master is here, so he won't have to ask for anything?

Even if the master knew why, it would be useless if she asked more.

As a maid, Ying Zhuo Yao knows her position very well. She must be her master's eyes, mouth, and hands.

Meng Xingxian said: "I guessed it."

Ying Zhuo Yao said: "Guess?"

“If it were in the past, I could directly connect to the cow and look through the cow’s short-term memory.

But now there is no trace of Yin Qi in this land, and I can't use my power. "

Meng Xingxian said and glanced at the horse that was now pulling the cart.

The original green wolf lost control not long after leaving Jianshan Pass, so everyone replaced the wolf carriage with a horse carriage.

Changing cars is actually something that must be done sooner or later. After all, it is impossible for Li Yuan to drive into Zhongjing in a wolf car that is the symbol of Bingman. What is the difference between that and having "I am Bingman" plastered on his face?

The wolf chariot became a carriage, and Meng Xingxian, who originally only had to use her Yin Qi to control the giant ice and snow wolf to drive the chariot, had to drive the chariot herself.

On the other side, Han Feng had fallen asleep.

In such a place without Yin Qi, she could only lie dormant in her soul, unable to wake up no matter what.

After the little wolf mother left the West Pole and saw so many scenery, some memories seemed to be reviving.

Li Yuan noticed that the sacred feeling of "walking with God" was missing in her eyes, and was replaced by a kind of confusion.

Occasionally, the little wolf mother would open a corner of the curtain and look at the sunshine outside, at the passing villages and towns outside, and at the sunset. She looked at it for a long time, not knowing what she was remembering.

Jade bones are like this, and the little wolf mother is actually fine. I'm afraid she's just a child kidnapped from outside. But the really miserable ones are actually people like Peng Mingyi and Ying Zhuo Yao

However, Ying Zhuo Yao and Peng Mingyi are obviously different. After knowing the truth, the latter chose to leave, choose farming, and choose atonement.

And Li Yuan didn't believe that Ying Zhuo Yao hadn't been awake in these years. But even though she was awake, she still chose to continue her current life. She was extremely attached to life, and she was afraid of death to the extreme. After losing Beidou as her master, she tried her best to please Li Yuan.

Li Yuan ruffled the little maid's hair.

The firefly demon nuzzled him again like a cat, its silky eyes quietly showing the docility of being picked by anyone.

The car was quiet.

And suddenly, there was movement outside.

That was the voice of the guards guarding the city.

"Little lady, you didn't pass the ultimatum? Tell me honestly, are you a bandit from nearby who wants to sneak into the city?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain opened and Li Yuan handed an ultimatum to Meng Xingxian.

Since he was going to Zhongjing, he would naturally listen to some information about Zhongjing along the way.

Can't something like a document be faked with someone's hands?

The guards guarding the city looked at the document and wanted to find fault, but looking left and right they really couldn't see any problems. However, looking at the beauty of the woman driving the chariot, they felt a little reluctant.

Seeing that the document came from a foreign country and his identity was just a civilian, a guard rolled his eyes and suddenly said sternly: "You guys, please step aside and wait a moment!"

After saying this, the guard ran towards the small barracks behind the city gate.

This is an opportunity to make a contribution.

Nowadays, the dignitaries in Beijing are all showing off. The year before last, they were fighting against the cricket generals, last year they were competing for the oiran, and this year, they started to compete ridiculously to steal the women of the people.

In the past, the Bodhisattva of the Star King family still made the decision, but now, the dignitaries have no taboos and regard this land as their private property.

Whether it's fields or women, whatever is on this land belongs to them.

The city captain on duty in the barracks was a distant relative of the emperor's cousin.

Naturally, this distant relative wanted to flatter the yameni.

As for him, a little guard, he needs to flatter the city captain.

The woman driving the chariot just now was very nice. Just one glance at her made him feel itchy in his heart. If he could spend a night with her, she would be more comfortable than a god.

Such a woman can be used to please the boss, and the boss will take it away and give it to the yamen.

Isn’t it enough to just have a mouth for a reason? There are so many bandits outside now, there is no guarantee that this woman is not a bandit spy. As for why the bandits sent spies, that's the bandits' business, and they don't know.

However, as soon as the guard ran away, Li Yuan followed his direction for a while, and then heard the cry of a woman coming from the barracks in the distance, and some words such as "Don't panic, little lady, if you are not a bandit, Look it up and you'll find out."

Li Yuan understood the whole story instantly.

His expression was slightly cold, and his meticulous control of his domain power condensed the dust rolled up on the ground into a slap, and he lightly slapped the guard on the back of his head.

The guard groaned and fainted. His body tilted and he fell into the moat on one side and never floated again.

After a while.

In front of the city gate.

"We've been waiting for a long time and you still won't let us enter the city?" Meng Xingxian said.

The remaining guard shouted impatiently: "Why are you so anxious? I'm afraid you have something wrong with you? Wait a minute!"

Meng Xingxian glared at him.

The guard seemed to be used to being arrogant. He snorted coldly at this glare, said "yo ho", and then pulled out the knife from his waist with a "clang" sound.

Li Yuan handed over a gold ingot and threw it away.

The guard took the Yuanbao, a bit of greed flashed in his eyes, and then he gave up and just said: "Wait obediently!"

After a while.

When the guard checked the customs clearance documents of other passers-by, he was probably annoyed and drew his sword again to threaten those entering the city.

But before he finished the next action, he felt that his body was wrapped in a terrible force.

That power allowed him to pull out the knife, put it on his neck smoothly, and give it a heavy blow.

The neck was cut immediately, and blood gurgled out. The guard fell heavily to the ground, with only the fear remaining in the moment before death in his eyes.

There was chaos at the city gate.

Screams and frightened sounds became a chaotic mess, and patrolmen heard the sound in the distance and hurried over.

Li Yuan knocked on the car window and said calmly: "Entering the city."

Meng Xingxian waved the reins and drove the chariot in.

At this time, she also realized that her face and figure might cause trouble, so she went from the carriage to put on the bamboo hat and veil. At the same time, she looked at Li Yuan and said, "I'm sorry, sir."

Li Yuan said: "It's nothing, I just wanted to show your face."

He felt a little cold in his heart.

It’s only been thirteen years since I came to Zhongjing City.

Has Zhongjing City actually turned into this?

Xiao Yan actually told him a lot about the situation in Zhongjing City.

But what the ears hear is different from what the eyes see.

The imperial capital, which used to be prosperous in martial arts and enforced laws and regulations, has now turned into a dirty place where men are bullied and women are bullied, and the power of others is exploited. Even a city guard has a chain of interests.

Xiao Yan has said many things to him.

One of them was that a general from the Wen family in the imperial capital wanted to be promoted, but promotion required merit. As a result, the general went out with his troops and massacred a small village, claiming that he had wiped out the bandits.

The Wen family and the He family were on good terms, and some people knew about this.

But the general took credit for it and rose to power.

The emperor is only twelve years old, his eyes are covered, and he is a complete puppet.

One leaf knows autumn. This happened to those who were seen by Xiao Yan, but there are still many others who were not seen.

If it were in the past, Li Yuan might only have the idea of ​​​​"punishing him along the way".

But things are different now.

In this city, Li Zhen seems to be fighting against these powerful people.

In fact, there is also a group of clear people behind Li Zhen.

These clear streams want to do something.

But the power of the clear stream is very small.

In addition, Li Yuan also remembers the Human Emperor.

He used the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor was willing to be used by him.

Let’s not talk about the relationship between father and son. This in itself is also a big favor owed.

Therefore, Li Yuan would not watch the prosperous age created by the Human Emperor be corroded by a group of moths.

He asked Meng Xingxian's chariot to go through the main gate just because he wanted to see the true appearance of Yujing at this time, but he did not expect to encounter such a thing just in front of the city gate.

He wouldn't find it strange that a city gate guard fell in love with a woman, then wanted to report it to his superiors, and then used some ridiculous excuses to seize a beautiful civilian girl. It happened outside.

But this is the imperial capital!

"Go to Star King's Mansion." Li Yuan closed his eyes and said.

After a while.

A carriage stopped at the lake near Xingwang Mansion.

Li Yuan listened briefly, and after confirming that Li Zhen was in the mansion, he turned into a bug and flew over quickly.

The Star King's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are even fourth-level guards.

But Li Yuan is no longer at their level.

Fourth grade?

From his perspective, they are just ants.

How could the ants notice him?

In an instant, Li Yuan landed in the gap between the eaves and bricks of a small back courtyard and looked inside.

In the room, incense was lingering, and a middle-aged woman with a kind and gentle face was leading several children to worship Buddha.

On the Buddhist niche, the giant Buddha made of mud and stone is plated with gold, but it has no magical powers.

Li Yuan talked with the people at the Tomb of the Gods and knew that Buddha existed in the Xia Dynasty, but it was only something that was tinkered with by some Heavenly Soul masters. After all, Heavenly Soul cultivation often requires the use of incense.

But now, this Buddha has simply become the woman's sustenance.

The middle-aged woman took the children to worship the Buddha, burned incense, and then asked the young ladies behind to take the children to play, while she sat quietly in the Buddhist hall alone, meditating with her eyes closed, twisting rosary beads in her hands, and chanting words. , seems to be praying for blessings.

There was sunlight falling outside the door behind her, and the dead leaves rustled in the wind, but there was a quiet and cool color inside the house.

The small flying insect flashed its thin wings and flew into the house. It changed slightly and showed its true shape, standing silently behind the middle-aged woman.

A feeling of impermanence of time came to Li Yuan's heart.

Seeing her fall to the ground, seeing her standing tall and graceful, seeing her getting married as a woman, seeing her becoming a mother again, seeing her leading her children, and the children chanting "Grandma".

He never covered up his movements, so it took only a short while for the middle-aged woman to notice something, and opened her eyes, her calm eyes falling on Li Yuan.

She smiled slightly and asked, "Sir, are you here to kill me?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "So what?"

The middle-aged woman smiled and said: "Sir, he bypassed many guards and was extremely powerful. However, he did not attack when the children were there. Instead, he waited until they left and showed up again. Thank you, Li Zhen."

She paused briefly and then said: "Sir, you must be on a mission when you come here. If Li Zhen doesn't want you to come here in vain, then please take action."

After saying that, she closed her eyes, grabbed the rosary beads, and continued to recite the prayers without shouting or shouting. Not even the slightest tremor could be heard in her voice.

But she waited for a long time, but she never got it.

Li Zhen opened his eyes in surprise and asked curiously: "Sir, aren't you here to kill me?"

Li Yuandao: "No."

Li Zhen said: "But my husband and I are strangers, so why are you here?"

Li Yuan paused and asked, "Are we really strangers?"

For a moment, the air became quiet, leaving only the soft sound of the middle-aged woman twisting the beads.

Suddenly, the twisting sound stopped.

The middle-aged woman suddenly stood up and looked at the boy beside her.

Those already wrinkled eyes showed an indescribable confusion, fear, and excitement that they recognized but didn't dare to recognize.

The young man smiled, raised his hand gently, and made a gesture of spinning a top in the air.

The middle-aged woman suddenly choked up and her eyes suddenly turned red. However, her upbringing and experience prevented her from doing anything inappropriate or yelling in a hurry.

She just looked at the boy like this, tears slowly streaming down her face, and the corners of her lips curled up.

She raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, but her smile became happier.

"I thought you were fake and that your previous appearance was just a dream of mine," the middle-aged woman said.

Li Yuandao: "I'm going to the East China Sea, and I'll stop by to see you."

"Yes, you were supposed to go to the East China Sea. I even thought you were always there." The middle-aged woman said.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Gather all your enemies together and tell them that you are going to serve wine to apologize for the past."

"Is this why you came here?" The middle-aged woman smiled sadly.

As assassins approached and sharp blades were deployed, she never had any mood swings, and her heart was as deep as an ancient well.

But in this world, is there any knife that can be faster than hurting a loved one?

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You misunderstood, I asked you to serve the wine, I just hope you can gather those people together.

Then, I can directly help you kill all those people.

Due to some reasons, dad couldn't appear by your side, and even if he did, he would only let Zhao Chunxin guard you.

Now Dad is going to the East China Sea. What he wants to do when he goes to the East China Sea is different from what you think.

But now that I'm gone, I don't know when I'll come back, so I want to solve the matter for you. "

"So, you're here to say goodbye?" the middle-aged woman said.

She paused for a moment and then said softly, "We haven't met yet, so why say goodbye.

In the eyes of the immortal, I am just an accident on the roadside. If you can stop for a moment and wait, I am satisfied.

What's more, I can enjoy this glory, thanks to the favor of the Queen Mother, the favor of the Emperor, and the favor of Wendao Palace, I think it is all because of you.

You have done enough for me. No more. "

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Are you still complaining about dad?"

The middle-aged woman said: "I can handle the matter in Beijing myself. You'd better save your strength and go to the East China Sea. Don't delay the business."

Li Yuan thought for a while, suddenly understood, and then said: "Li Zhen, you may not understand my strength.

Let me tell you this, right now I can crush the entire imperial capital into rubble.

As for the fourth grade, even if all the fourth grades in the imperial capital were added together, they still wouldn’t be able to stand in front of me for one round.

The imperial capital is like a toy, and the fourth rank is like a clay figurine. You don’t have to worry.

It's just a piece of cake for me to help you get rid of these people. "

Middle-aged woman:.

Li Yuan continued: "It's a rumor that the Wendao Palace technique comes from the East China Sea.

The purpose of this rumor is to cut off your wings and make people from the Wendao Palace go to the East China Sea. "

The middle-aged woman lamented: "What can I do?"

Li Yuandao: "All the techniques in Wendao Palace do not come from the East China Sea at all.

Because those techniques were created by your father.

Their inheritance is in the hands of their father. Going to the East China Sea is like asking for fish after a tree is planted, which is extremely foolish.

After I help you deal with all your opponents, Wendao Palace will become your biggest supporter and help you clean up the mess.

If you want to be emperor, dad will let you be empress.

If you don't want to, then just be a wandering cloud and a wild crane, and enjoy the world. "

After saying that, he smiled and said: "One life and a hundred years may not be a bad thing. Your eldest sister is envious of you."

"Sister?" The middle-aged woman was stunned.

Li Yuan clapped his hands, and a dead vine crawled out from the gap between the bricks and tiles of the house, turning into a quiet woman and standing opposite the middle-aged woman.

"The Divine Crow of the South, the crow mother worshiped by the ice barbarians, once participated in the War of the Human Emperor, and is one of the few third-level existences on this land.

And... this is just a clone of your eldest sister. "

Li Yuan talked eloquently, "You can talk more with your eldest sister, and her clone will be by your side from now on.

The gap between Bingman and Dazhou can be opened.

When the time comes, send some sacrifices to your eldest sister, she likes sweets. "

There are four grandma Shu Xiaolu, one went to the East China Sea, and three are still in the Middle Earth.

This time, Li Yuan will take two away, and one will naturally stay with his younger daughter.

Li Zhen:.

Only at this moment did she realize that she had so many powerful relatives.

She was a little at a loss, especially the eldest sister in front of her.

She may not understand her father very well.

Li Yuan doesn't have any outstanding identity that he can show off. After all, he usually hides behind history like a transparent person.

But Xiao Yan's reputation is very big.

The two identities of the divine crow and the crow mother are simply "the king of chaos".

At this very moment, there are still many places in the southern part of the Middle-Earth that are worshiping Lord Yama and the Divine Crow. When the Divine Crow appears, those people may not return directly to their hearts.

And Bingman, let alone that. With Divine Crow here, she can completely trust Bingman.

However, who knew that the Divine Crow and the Crow Mother were actually the same person.

Grandma Shu Xiaolu went up and took the middle-aged woman's hand and said: "Little sister, dad has some difficulties. This time, let him help you."

Li Zhen trembled, but finally let Grandma Shu hold her hand. She adapted to the sisterly relationship, and then hesitated: "But if I hold a banquet to apologize, the other party will definitely suspect that I am going to take action, and they will definitely kill all the masters." Bring it.

I know that the third level is powerful, but there are so many fourth and fifth levels, and there are even troops stationed nearby.

I don't want anything to happen to dad and you. "

She finally called out "Dad".

Grandma Shu Xiaoqi laughed and said: "Dad will crush them all with just one kick. Then sit still and don't move. You should eat and drink. Daddy is very quick to strike."

Li Zhen looked at Li Yuan, and Li Yuan looked at her with a smile.

Li Zhen lowered his head and said, "Okay then. Be careful."

Half a month later.

"Mother, mother, mother!"

Ying An ran in from outside and shouted, "Mr. Song, please see me."

Mr. Song is a representative figure of Qingliu, and his subordinates also control some power.

At the same time, not all warriors want to share this land, there are also some high-grade warriors who help Qingliu.

Of course, most of them just don't want to care about things here and just want to go to the East China Sea.

After Ying An ran in and saw his mother drinking tea calmly, he smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, you are very calm.

But my son doesn’t understand, so let’s just stop.

Why do you have to hold a banquet at the Hongyan Tower on the bank of the Tianhe River to bring this matter to light? "

Li Zhen said: "If you have to give up, then let it go. It's not good for the head and the rat to be blurred. Mom has already thought clearly. We have done enough for this world, and we will be ordinary people from now on. The rich and powerful, just go with the flow and seek peace."

Ying An wanted to say more, but an old man in green clothes hurriedly walked in from outside the door, came to the arch and bowed, and said, "Song Yehuang has met Princess Zhongjing."

Even after many years, Princess Zhongjing is still the most prestigious title.

Li Zhen said: "I already know Mr. Song's intention, but I have already made up my mind."

Song Yehuang's face was full of righteousness and he hesitated to speak, but his beard trembled slightly and he stubbornly refused to retreat.

Ying An saluted and said "teacher" and then withdrew.

Song Yehuang has been the disciple of many powerful people and even their teacher.

His own cultivation qualifications are extremely poor, but he has a unique understanding of "state of mind".

He knew that Wendao Palace's "Jade Planting Technique" was a technique to persuade people to do good, so he borrowed the manuscript of the technique and compiled a set of texts. This text became a system and was called "Mo Xue". ".

The function of "Mo Xue" is to assist the fifth rank of Wendao Palace, allowing them to plant "jade" in their hearts faster, and then enter the fourth rank.

The origin of the word "Moxue" is probably Mo Yiwei.

Song Yehuang said: "The body is dark, but the mind is bright."

In troubled times, it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong in many things.

Even if we talk about the traces without caring about the heart, can the traces really be done right?

If it is wrong and stains the mind, it means taking a detour and even making it difficult to enter the fourth level.

This question has stumped many powerful people at the top of the fifth rank.

Song Yehuang solved this problem.

He said that as long as your heart is bright and your conscience tells you that it is right, that is what Zhong calls the "way of chivalry" in "The Art of Planting Jade".

Therefore, Song Yehuang said: "Unify knowledge and action, and then you will have no regrets."

The body is dark, but the mind is bright.

Unite knowledge and action, and then you will have no regrets.

These sixteen words have helped many fifth-level people to break through the mental needs of fourth-level people, not just Wen Dao Palace.

Therefore, Song Yehuang is very respected.

Even though he was the leader of Qingliu, many hostile warriors did not want to kill him.

Ying An left, and only Li Zhen and Song Yehuang were left in the courtyard.

Song Yehuang then said: "I don't understand, why does the princess have to hold a banquet?"

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak, Song Yehuang said again: "Anyone would think that this is a murderous banquet, even I think so.

However, in fact, I know that the princess did not actually have any arrangements.

But even so, even the He family and the Wen family didn't believe it at all.

The lady set the banquet on the eve of the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

On that day, the He family, the Wen family and many aristocratic families might bring many powerful people to Hongyan Tower.

There will also be many spectators outside Hongyan Tower, waiting to see how the princess will do it.

If the banner of the princess falls, I will have no choice but to die. "

Li Zhen said: "Sir, let's just watch."

Song Yehuang was stunned for a moment, stood up, bowed his head, bowed, and said: "Then I will watch."

After that, he left, walked a few steps and then turned back, bowed again, and said loudly to the ground: "The suffering of the common people has been long.

Now that we have finally ushered in a new world, we have to bear the burden of being eaten by tigers and wolves.

In my heart, I cannot tolerate such dirty and evil things.

Old age and death are also deaths, and living for the sake of the common people is also death. Is it okay to live in a country of death? ! "

Li Zhen nodded lightly. Seeing that she still didn't say anything, Song Yehuang bowed to the end, and then said: "I am willing to die for national affairs and for the common people."

After that, he turned and left.

In the small courtyard, Li Zhen drank tea calmly, and a black crow landed on her shoulder.

Li Zhen took a piece of peach blossom cake, and the crow swallowed the cake with one peck of its beak.

Li Zhen's quiet eyes showed some worry. She was worried about Li Yuan. Because she knew how terrifying those masters in the imperial capital were.

The end of the year is coming soon.

The falling snow is thickly accumulated on the banks of the Tianhe River, and everything is covered with silvery white.

The five-story Hongyan Tower is a famous building in Zhongjing. Standing here, it commands the entire view of the Tianhe River.

Climbing this building, you can look far into the distance and see thousands of sails passing by, water transport merchant ships, literati, and drunken people singing wildly.

But on this day, Hongyan Tower was booked.

No one has taken over the Hongyan Tower just because the building is too big and no one is proud enough to take over the building.

But Princess Zhongjing is an exception.

And today, what Zhongjing County Lord is doing is even more exceptional.

The corridors of Hongyan Tower are extremely lively, but they also hide murderous intent.

A luxurious carriage stopped outside the building, and a middle-aged man stepped out. As soon as he got out of the car, warriors hurriedly got off and reported the surrounding situation one by one.

There was no ambush or enemy, so Princess Zhongjing only brought Zhao Chunxin, and then there were some leaders of Qingliu in the building.

It can be said that if they take action today, these Qingliu will die completely.

"interesting."

The middle-aged man laughed.

He is the head of the He family——He Shoukang.

Today, the Hongyan Tower seemed peaceful, but in fact, it was surrounded by masters from their family.

If nothing unexpected happens, He Shoukang will put some Qingliu under house arrest today.

Princess Zhongjing has made it clear that she will no longer take care of things, so Qingliu has no qualifications to fight with them anymore.

Attachment: Taohuasu really wanted to finish writing it, but she really didn’t have time.
