Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 295 293. Accept four maids and patrol the territory (please subscribe)

After becoming the head of the Tang Sect, Li Yuan obviously felt entangled in various trivial matters.

He had never encountered such a situation before.

Because most of the time, he either hid behind the scenes or acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, never handling matters by himself.

In the previous era, he had been emperor, but he was an emperor who pretended to be sick. It was Xie Wei who really handled affairs. He had been the leader of the Immortal Alliance, but he was a leader who "only took resources but did not take care of things." The real people in charge were the elders and heads of the various sects in the Immortal Domain.

But this time, that time.

At that time, he wanted to keep a low profile and wanted his name to disappear from the world, so until later, the name "Li Yuan" was like a monster emerging from the deep sea, which was frightening.

But now, he can't keep a low profile. How can the person who controls the mountains and rivers be an unknown person?

So, he was about to start taking care of things.

Li Yuan handled these trivial matters very seriously and happily, as if he had truly become the head of the Tang Sect. He thought about everything for the Tang Sect, and even had a tendency to develop the Tang Sect as a family industry.

No one could guess his true purpose, because everyone only saw that the new head of the Tang Sect was not only amazingly talented, but also extremely ambitious.

But in fact, Li Yuan's purpose is to "let his heart descend to the human world again", so he likes this feeling of being entangled in trivial matters, which is the feeling of being stained with the world of mortals.

He has suffered enough of being emotionless.

The mountains and rivers and the common people are like passers-by to me. Walking alone, I feel like a giant who has arrived in a strange city. All I hear are weak people, and all I see are passers-by. Watching other people's joys and sorrows, seeing others gathering and leaving, but you are always outside of them.

In those days, I was really lonely, and there was no other way but to forget my feelings.

But the words "Tai Shang Wang Qing" sound nice to say, but to put it bluntly, doesn't it mean that the whole person is self-enclosed and completely numb?

To live forever, you must have a way of living a long life.

Li Yuan wants to pursue the second rank and live a good life, but at the same time he needs to guard against the people behind the scenes in the new era turning their backs on the guests.

He will not be proud, because at this moment he is not as good as "Ziwei" and "Beidou" at the beginning of the last era.

But in the end, ants can eat elephants, snakes can eat whales, and terrifying beings like Ziwei and Beidou were defeated in the end.

In other words, in this era, he could be killed.

However, he had not thought about what kind of person he would be killed by, nor what method that person would use to kill him. He could not help but feel incredible that someone in this new era could kill him. , I can’t believe that this is just like Beidou back then, and he never thought that she was clearly fighting with Ziwei, so why would a little guy suddenly appear and take advantage of her?

With many thoughts floating around, Li Yuan looked at the fold in front of him.

This was written by the disciples of the Tang Sect following the example of ministers reporting events to the emperor.

Li Yuan scanned it and saw that it contained an official letter from the Ji family.

The excerpt only talks about "how is the Ji family", but the real thing is the accompanying letter.

The letter never bypassed the local Tangmen branch, which showed the Ji family's respect for Tangmen.

In the letter, the head of the Ji family also expressed his admiration and invited Li Yuan to be a guest.

This was considered a return gift, and the reply was "Li Yuan succeeded as the head of the Tang Sect and invited the Ji family to the banquet."

At the same time, this is also an invitation to "go with the flow". This is an active invitation to Li Yuan to inspect the Tang Sect's territory.

Decades ago, the old royal family of the Ji family was like a fish out of water, dying. Although they left the imperial capital and came to Sichuan, they were still monitored by a large number of generals from the Ministry of War.

For a time, almost everyone did not dare to interact with the Ji family, and the Ji family was also full of helplessness, pretending to be their grandson while trying to survive.

But the opportunity came when an outer disciple of the Ji family fell in love with an inner disciple of the Tang family.

The disciple's name was Ji Xing. He came to Tangmen again and again to express his love, but he was driven down the mountain without even seeing his sweetheart. But Ji Xing persevered and never took a leave of absence. Year after year, he came to the mountain to ask for a meeting with the sect master, hoping that the sect master would fulfill his wish.

This situation continued until Mrs. Yu came to power.

Madam Yu wanted to dominate the world, so she took this opportunity to help Ji Xing, thus uniting the Ji family.

At that time, the world was still shocked by the two swords that Tang Shiyi hung above the heads of the emperor and the king of gods in the name of Gong Ziyu. Although Tang Shiyi could no longer take action, no one still dared to provoke them.

The Ji family's old royal family had already occupied the great righteousness of this land. After marrying into the Tang clan, they unleashed the family's own energy in an instant.

The Jianghu knew that the Tang Sect was terrifying, but the people did not recognize the Tang Sect's orthodoxy.

But the Ji family has orthodoxy, so Mrs. Yu took this orthodoxy from the Ji family.

After that, the Tang Sect killed General Pang, who was sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs to monitor the Ji family, so that no one in Shu had any dissent.

That battle was quite dangerous, because Mrs. Yu was not extraordinary at that time, and Tang Shiyi was also turning himself into the young lady's fuel.

The result was that General Pang was destroyed. The Ji family was also tightly tied to the Tang Clan, and later provided a lot of help to the Tang Clan's dominance.

As Mrs. Yu realized the extraordinary and became the overlord, the Ji family also sensibly bowed down and regarded itself as a subordinate state.

The old royal family is hiding in a local sect, which can be said to be a disgrace to the ancestors, especially the ancestors also have the Human Emperor, but the Ji family obviously no longer cares about the false reputation.

"The Ji family invites you because they must want you to support some of your people to rise to power.

In this way, your name will be attached to your family, instead of the original wife's. "

Tang Leyang was explaining these historical origins and providing analysis.

“Once there is an emperor and courtiers, if the emperor changes but the courtiers do not, then disaster is imminent.

The Ji family is very smart, and his courtier is actively asking you to come and replace him. "

Li Yuan was noncommittal and looked at other discounts.

Obviously, this kind of beginning of the Ji family was not secret, but open. It was a conspiracy, and it was a conspiracy to help Li Yuan successfully control the entire Tang clan.

After all, the Ji family had already invited him in the first place. Which of the other big forces under the Tang Sect would dare to hide it?

Now, the Tang Sect's power is extremely large, and there are many good and bad among them, and there may not be spies from other forces.

These other forces now include the Xijing Divine Kingdom, the Yujing Great Zhou Dynasty, the Northland Golden Tent, and the mysterious Huyan Family Youzhang that can drive wolf cavalry.

These forces are distributed from south to north.

Tangmen is the southernmost one and is the overlord; Youzhang is the northernmost one and is the most mysterious.

As for the three central forces.

Nearly sixty years have passed since the two long knives were hung above the head of the Emperor and God King.

Extraordinary emergence, the undercurrent of the world.

Although Madam Yu is the first to comprehend the extraordinary, who can say that there are no other forces in this vast land who have comprehended the extraordinary?

After all, Mrs. Yu has been extraordinary for more than 20 years. Every move she makes and every thing she does must be secretly submitted to the big man's desk to be studied, summarized, and repeated. test.

Mrs. Yu is crazy, but there are so many people in the world, are there no crazy people?

It is extremely difficult to become a Zen, but it is also a layer of membrane. If you really want to pierce it, you can easily get it.

As for the introduction to the extraordinary in this new era, it has long been clearly written in the last part of the "Human Emperor Martial Arts", and "Human Emperor Martial Arts" is bound to be there for any big force.

Li Yuan is not an arrogant person, nor is he an impatient person, otherwise he would have died in the previous era.

Of course he can use his true body to turn into a "nuclear weapon" to destroy the world.

But once it is destroyed, he needs to go to sleep, and during his sleep, many changes will happen, just like when Beidou swallowed Nandou and Ziwei swallowed Gu Xuan, and the two sides were in a stalemate, he ran out.

If you can't sleep, don't sleep. This is Li Yuan's idea.

He stared at the fold, slowly put it down, and then grabbed another one.

This copy is similar to the one from the Ji family just now, except that it was submitted by the Tangmen branch of Jiangnan Road, and the "Hundred Swordsmen" also submitted it.

The "Hundred Swords Sect" is based on the "Eight Swords" of the original Jianghu forces "Seven Swords, Eight Swords and Nine Wonderful Sects", and then integrated many sword-wielding families who surrendered to the Tang Sect.

The swordsmen in such a force are a mixed bag, and their identities are also extremely mixed. Submitting information at this time naturally expresses their stance along with the Ji family.

Li Yuan came to power with great fanfare and his strength frightened everyone, so no one could ignore him. Otherwise, Li Yuan at this time should still have a headache on how to integrate his subordinates and how to establish authority in front of his subordinates.

He stared at the "Jiangnan Hundred Swords" folder and suddenly asked: "Have you found 'Quick Sword' Liu Long?"

Tang Leyang said: "I found out that Liu Long is a young lady from the Liu family in Jiangnan. She is now quite famous in Jiangnan and has great strength. She is already a worshiper of Baijianmen at a young age."

After speaking, she remained silent.

Li Yuandao: "Do you still want to say these things to Madam?"

Tang Leyang bit his lip gently and suddenly said: "Actually, it is really simple for a man to want a woman to shut up."

She paused for a moment, remembering her usual speculation on Li Yuan's temperament, and knowing that this man was not a violent and murderous person, she suddenly knelt down and said, "My four sisters are willing to dedicate everything to the master of the sect, and from now on we will become sect masters." The Lord’s confidant will accompany you in life and death.”

Li Yuan turned his head and looked at the Tang Clan girl who was kneeling on the ground.

She has long hair shawl, a fair body wrapped in green gauze, and a slightly bulging chest. Although she does not have the aura of Mrs. Yu, her limbs appear to be full of vitality and health due to long-term practice.

Working as a "housekeeper's attendant" for a long time has given her a sense of maturity that "knows how to advance and retreat, and how to behave appropriately."

There is still a bit of darkness and haze in this sense of maturity. If it weren't for the green gauze clothes that set off a bit of vitality, then this would be a decisive female devil.

However, this is just the female devil outside.

In front of Li Yuan, she is a woman at the moment, a woman with her own ambitions, a woman who wants to get closer to the sect master, so that she can gain the upper hand first and achieve extraordinary things.

In return, they will also be completely bound to Li Yuan.

As for Mrs. Yu?

That was just the previous owner.

Li Yuan looked at Tang Leyang.

The four maids "joy, anger, sorrow and joy" suddenly reminded him of "plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums".

Although the two sides are completely different, both in terms of strength and personality.

He closed his eyes slightly and fell into thought.

Less than half a month later.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The iron rope swayed slightly, and a beautiful shadow passed by and came to the central tower.

In the tower, the old lady is practicing.

But Mrs. Yu, who was supposed to be practicing, quietly walked out, looked at Tang Xitu, who "came here while Li Yuan left Tangmen," and asked: "How?"

She wanted to know what Li Yuan was doing outside.

This is not for "control", but just "possessiveness".

The four maids of "Happiness, Anger, Sadness and Joy" have received a lot of kindness from her, and they were all promoted and established by her. Their loyalty has been proven in many things.

And the reason why she dared to let the four maids of "Happiness, Anger, Sorrow and Joy" stay with the new sect master without worrying about them was because she knew that the fourth maids were ruthless and had almost no emotions, just like puppets who only knew how to do things.

Tang Xitu reported the news of the door owner one by one.

After a long time, Mrs. Yu breathed a sigh of relief, gave Tang Xitu some pointers on martial arts, and then asked her to leave quickly.

In the middle of Shu, in a temporary palace-like house, a slight sound of female laughter was heard.

The steaming warm water exudes a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

Li Yuan stretched his arms, which naturally extended along the edge of the huge wooden barrel.

He closed his eyes comfortably and bathed in it.

A yellow leaf fell from the branch and swirled on the water.

Slight, external ripples made Li Yuan open his eyes. He looked at the desolate autumn scene and further thought about his power after "combining martial arts with true knowledge."

If you are an ordinary person, traveling abroad, a stranger in a foreign land, and see the withered leaves, you will definitely feel melancholy.

But at this time, there were still two women with pulled back hair and beautiful faces in the barrel, serving Li Yuan on one side and one on the right.

These are Tang Nulong and Tang Aizhu among the four maids of "Happiness, Anger, Sadness and Joy".

The former has a pair of narrow eyes. Because these eyes are narrow and long, the pupils seem to have not been fully opened, and then show a somewhat dark temperament.

Tang Nulong was good at using hidden weapons. Her unique hidden weapon "Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart" had killed countless masters. Before they died, those masters would see her narrow eyes and look at her eyes with fear.

But at this moment, these eyes were full of submission, and along with the murderous hands, they were squeezing Li Yuan's shoulders.

The latter has a pair of poet-like eyes. She always laments the passing of life and feels the boundless desolation and beauty in the face of death.

Tang Aizhu likes to kill people with poison.

I also like to appear in front of that person after he is poisoned and read him a little poem I just composed.

She once poisoned an entire family by herself, and then her eyes were filled with tears among the corpses filled with poisonous mist.

She was not sad about the death of that family, but sad and moved by the fragility of life and the splendor of death.

Obviously, in the eyes of people in the world, Tang Aizhu is a female devil who can make children stop crying in the middle of the night.

But now, the pair of eyes full of sadness were lingering on Li Yuan's strong limbs, and the hand that prepared the poison was also serving the limbs gently and heavily.

While serving Li Yuan, the two women honestly "confessed" what they had done.

While they were talking, they were always paying attention to Li Yuan's reaction, just like the courtiers to the emperor. Even if the emperor just blinked, the courtiers would be frightened and have wild thoughts.

They are not good people.

And the sect leader is not a murderous person.

This shows that the door owner is probably a good person.

If the sect leader is really the reincarnation of "Gong Ziyu", then the one who hangs the two knives over the head of the Emperor God King is an even better person. After all, what kind of bad person would care about the common people in the world?

Good guys and bad guys are hardly the same camp.

Therefore, the faces of the two women were smiling, and Li Yuan's casual words seemed to make them smile happily, but they were trembling in their hearts, as if they were facing an abyss and walking on thin ice.

Li Yuan noticed their nervousness, and after thinking for a moment, he understood the reason, so he whispered: "Let me tell you a story."

After that, he raised his head, sighed comfortably, and then adapted the plot about the "Three-Body Problem" he had read before traveling into a martial arts version, adding elements of good and evil, and told it to the two women in front of him.

The general content is that the lonely city is located outside, and the good and evil in the rivers and lakes work together to help the city lord defend the city.

At first, the opinions of the evil faction dominated, and the methods of the evil faction were rough and despicable, full of dangers, not only for their own people, but also for their enemies.

Unfortunately, in a great war, the strong man of the evil sect was ambushed and killed.

As a result, the decent opinions began to dominate. With the cheers of the people in the city and the support of everyone, the decent faction abolished the "terrorist methods" of the evil faction.

Then the enemy suddenly invaded in large numbers. Without the "vicious and despicable ways of defending the city" of the evil sect, this lonely city could not hold on.

The city fell and the enemy ordered a massacre.

The people who had been cheering for joy before suffered unimaginable suffering, and death became a luxury. In the end, the city became a fat sheep used by the enemy to reward soldiers, and was slaughtered.

The story ends here.

Tang Nulong and Tang Aizhu looked at the boy telling the story and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The story of the sect master made them suddenly feel that maybe they were not so vicious and not a female devil.

The smooth and satin-like catkins, mixed with the warm medicinal soup, rippled in the gloomy night.

Li Yuan enjoyed the boundless night.

A few days later.

Li Yuan arrived in the city where the Ji family is located.

The entire city was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, like a Chinese New Year, welcoming the overlord.

At the feast, the head of the Ji family left the main seat to Li Yuan and sat down himself.

Songs and dances are floating, dancers are dancing, musicians are sitting on the seats on both sides, uniformly dressed, lowering their heads and continuing to play the pipa.

The dancers and musicians who can come here are all beauties with some beauty.

Normally, the head of the Ji family would take the opportunity to reward his subordinates to win people's hearts. Therefore, the banquet is often filled with lustful and scrutinizing glances, and the guests look at the beauties in the banquet as if they were looking at merchandise.

But at this moment, no one dared to look at those beauties. Instead, they all smiled and talked in a pretentious manner, creating a lively banquet atmosphere.

But in fact, they all had sweat on their backs and were very nervous in their hearts. They were all thinking about how to go up and say a few words to the new overlord.

After all, Li Yuan's coming here means a redistribution of power.

Everyone wants to be the confidant of the new sect leader.

However, Li Yuan didn't know anyone, and all he could do was to look for some people with "higher status, but unable to hold power, with strength and clean wealth" from the "Ji family power distribution map" provided by the fourth maid. .

These people's power is given by him, and they will naturally be regarded as his people.

Before coming to this banquet, he already had some candidates in mind.

At the banquet, he needed to "assess" and "observe" these people.

But it is not a decision.

A banquet is over, some families are happy and some are sad.

Li Yuan returned to the palace arranged by the Ji family and took an early bath under the service of the two accompanying maids.

After bathing, he sat cross-legged on the couch. Every time he breathed in and out, the pale golden color of the mountains, rivers and people here seemed to have found the "vortex mouth" and converged towards him, turning into strands of golden gossamer and infiltrating his body. His body gave him the feeling of being connected to the mountains, rivers, heaven and earth.

However, the sense of improvement at this time is still not great.

This shows that although he has completed his "succession", due to the lack of ceremony, the mountains and rivers here have not yet fully recognized him.

If you need to be recognized by mountains and rivers, you must spread your reputation far and wide.

This was one of the reasons why Li Yuan was invited to patrol the Tangmen territory.

When the tour is completed, he will seal the border between Jiangnan, Jiangbei and Sichuan to worship heaven and earth.

Of course, in addition to this reason, as well as "reconciling the internal situation first" and "personal investigation", he also has another purpose, and that is Xiao Yu'er.

After a long time, the day's daily practice was over. Li Yuan lay on the couch with his hands on the pillow, thinking about his experiences these days, which he found quite interesting.

The schedule is full.

You need to patrol everywhere and resettle one stop at a time.

This kind of arrangement is step-by-step. There is no fancy or cunning method, but it is an upright and general trend.

At midnight, there was sudden noise outside the palace. Li Yuan opened his eyes and called Tang Aizhu, who was on duty at night, to understand the situation.

News soon came back that the youngest son of the current elder of the Ji family was here to "make trouble."

Of course, it's not really "making trouble", it's just a theory.

"He said that his father worked diligently in his duties and made many contributions to the Tang clan. He was also personally conferred by Mrs. Yu back then. Why... why would he be replaced for no reason now?

He also said that his father was an upright man and enforced the law strictly, which was why the city was open at night and there were no robbers. But his father also offended many people because of this. Once you lose your position as leader, you will inevitably be retaliated against. "

Tang Aizhu described what happened outside in a calm tone, then paused and said, "Master, as far as I know, this is indeed the case. The elder of the Ji family is very unpopular, so this is punishment. There are many in the Ji family." The elders will also applaud.

We might as well punish the young man severely, let him harbor hatred, carry hatred, and rebel. Then he can become our microphone and help us gain some advantages easily. "

Li Yuan knew what she meant.

It's nothing more than spreading false news.

The false information delivered by the son of the head elder of the Ji family can already determine the outcome of a war and save him a lot of trouble.

This can be regarded as "making the best use of everything" and "utilizing waste".

Somehow, he suddenly thought of some novels he had read before traveling through time.

The beginning of those novels is probably "A certain hero, after the tyrannical new emperor came to power, his whole family was killed. But the protagonist, the son of the hero, escaped, so he was saddled with a blood feud, worked hard, and then joined the enemy country, and then came back. , revenge”.

Distracted thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind, he smiled and shook his head, saying: "Xiao Ai, it doesn't have to be like this."

Tang Aizhu didn't say much, and just said: "Yes, Master."

But Li Yuan got up with great interest, put on cheap plain clothes and a mask, and quietly came outside the palace. In the moonlight, he looked at a young man with a knife behind his back, clenching his hands, sitting on the distant roof ridge in great pain.

That young man was the youngest son of the Ji family elder who was about to step down.

Li Yuan glanced at his data, which was just a mediocre "5~7".

‘Those who have experienced this may not necessarily be the protagonist. ’ He couldn’t help but sigh, and immediately jumped up and sat next to the young man on the roof.

The young man was startled, but he immediately called himself "Senior".

Li Yuan chatted with him for a long time, and felt that the other person was full of enthusiasm, youthful vigor, and full of anger. He was fearless.

He likes to chat with such young people, because these passions have never appeared in him.

When they parted, he searched his memory and taught the young man a "weakened version of city destruction", and then left quietly before dawn.

Planting willows at will, without waiting for the flowers to bloom, is also a small pleasure of immortality.

Attachment: The progress is a bit slow today. It may be related to the status. Sorry.
