Chapter 36 The fight for life begins

Qingshan Pass, the Marshal's Mansion in the city, and the lobby of the rear mansion are still empty.

In the silence, the urn-like voice suddenly echoed, "Senior brother, are we just going to keep waiting like this? The initiative is not with us, but sudden changes will inevitably happen."

Dazzling sunlight shone in from outside the door, making the lobby bright. Hong Linying sat on a large chair and shook her reflective bald head.

"This guy is not only cautious, but also a little slippery. In the next few times, he only fed back his thoughts to us through a few oral messages from Liu Chengyong and the letters he brought to confirm each other. Liu Chengyong's oral messages were often A few key sentences, and the letter never mentioned the skills or the escape. He only said that if he could have good wine next time, he would bring the secret bacon at home. He was extremely careful, and he was afraid that the letter would be dropped. Ji Wenhe has a handle.

The initiative is really in his hands now. We gave him a way to escape last time, but he rejected it.

Then. After he entered the city once, I sent someone to pretend to be an assassin from Meng Guo who sneaked in to assassinate our important officials. Unexpectedly, I met him on the street and recognized him as Ji Wenhe's disciple, and then He first killed Chen An and Li Yin on the street, and then hid him in a secret passage for one or two months. After Ji Wenhe searched for a long time, he felt helpless about the matter, so he put the Kung Fu Give it to me, and I will quietly send him away from here, but he firmly refuses to agree, which also cuts off any further plans of coercion and inducement after we capture him."

"Brother, if you don't wait for him to come to the city next time, I'll pretend to be an assassin and take him directly, and then find an opportunity to take him to the secret room."

"I have also considered your idea, but this way There are some problems with this. After being captured, will he cooperate? Will he be tortured when the time comes? This is an eternal disaster for the practice of inner strength and mental skills."

"This won't work, that won't work, it's really annoying. I don't believe that he can do it under my hands. Can you tell the truth?"

"Junior brother, please be patient and wait for a while. If that doesn't work, we'll have to do this." Hong Linying patted his bald head with his hand. .

At this time, footsteps were suddenly heard outside. After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door, and then a voice came from outside the door: "Commander, Captain Liu is here to see you."

p>

"Oh? He's here, call him in quickly." Hong Linying sat up straight, and after thinking deeply, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Chen An and Li Yin looked at Li Yan, who was riding wildly in front of him, with shame on their faces, and helplessly stepped off their mounts. Chased him.

After entering the city today, Li Yan not only bought some clothes, he was also very interested in some items from Liu Chengyong’s army. Finally, Chen An and Li Yin went on horsebackIt was covered with helmets, armor, and military boots, and the most embarrassing thing was that there was a big pot and a big spoon hanging on the horse's butt. Chen An covered his face under the malicious looks from the military camp, and walked towards the north gate in embarrassment amidst the sound of "clang, clang, clang".

After they entered the Military Advisor's Mansion, they walked towards the inner valley again amid astonished and sighing eyes. This time, they even had to bring horses in. As soon as they entered the valley, there was a sense of consciousness. Sweeping over, when this spiritual consciousness swept over the two war horses, the spiritual consciousness immediately trembled, and then shrank back as if it was shameful.

Li Yan walked in front, and after feeling the spiritual consciousness retracted, he couldn't help but sneer on his lips. Behind him, Chen An and Li Yin lowered their heads and led their horses into the valley. The look of being close to him.

"I'll let you sweep. I'll bring more things back these few times for you to sweep well." Li Yan thought to himself.

Then he turned around carelessly, pointed to the outside of his house and said, "Put all today's things there."

After Chen An and Li Yin took a look, they said with sad faces, " Master, your door is almost blocked." At the door of the stone house where Li Yan lives, there are two or three wooden cabinets standing. The wooden cabinet doors are wide open, but they are filled with plows, rakes, and shovels. , stone mortars and other farm tools, there is also a candied haws pole leaning against the door, with many dried candied haws stuck on it. This was the last time Li Yan got into the city and brought back a candied haws sold with a pot. of.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just put it away when I asked you to. Should I put it in the house? Then how can I sleep?" Li Yan began to look at the two of them with unkind eyes.

"Okay, I'll let it go." Chen An and Li Yin trembled and quickly agreed. Immediately, with the sound of jingling bells, it was unloaded all over the ground, and then Chen An and Li Yin quickly took their horses and covered their faces and left.

From beginning to end, there was no movement or anyone opening the door and coming out of the first stone house.

Li Yan nodded with satisfaction, then walked around the things on the ground a few times, then picked up the helmet and armor and made some gestures on his body. After a while, he seemed not satisfied again. He threw it into the pile of things with a bang, muttered a few words, and then walked into the house.

After walking into the house, Li Yan poured a glass of water, took a sip, then lay down on the bed, lazily closed his eyes, looking satisfied, but in fact, he was already Up and down.

It has been more than half a month since the last decision he made. Today he went to the city to find Liu Chengyong and handed him the letter. The letter stated that he wanted to make a decision in more than a month. When farming, the uncle at home would bring Li Yan’s ancestral secret marinated meat. At noon, he would go to get the meat first. In addition, it would take about an hour on the road. Liu Chengyong asked Liu Chengyong to prepare the fine wine first and then go to the wine shop to share it. Drink, if the wine is not good wine, then he will take the cured meat back and enjoy it for himself.

These are also some code words that he and Hong Linying agreed on, which means "he plans toA month and a half later, when farming started (beginning of summer), Hong Linying needed to find a reason to move away the Jijun division around him for about an hour at noon. Then he would find Liu Chengyong and take action. If everything goes well, he would transfer the result. Leave the law to them. "

When he really decided on all this, he started to feel nervous. After he came back, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to calm the turmoil in his heart.

He was definitely not going to do it. What he escaped was to plan how to save Ji Junshi's life. He had been planning repeatedly for several months, but to this day, the chance of winning was still extremely slim. Thinking of the legendary Ji Junshi's terrifying martial arts, no, it should be said He had no confidence that it was an immortal skill. Although he had never seen magic such as Wood Thorn Technique, Fire Bullet Technique, and Wind Blade Technique, thinking about these names made him feel powerless.

But he must not wait until half a year or a year later, before he can think of a solution, the third division will come to find him. , facing a person who knows magic and is ready to kill him, he really has no chance of winning. Now, if he is caught by surprise, he may still have the possibility of surviving in death. Just die. If you really die in front of him, Ji Junshi probably won't have any intention to deal with his relatives anymore.

After lying on the bed for a long time, Li Yan felt his mood. He calmed down a bit, stood up, and walked towards the water pool outside the house. His current task was to practice, practice, and practice non-stop.

In the time, the catkins were flying, and the sun was getting brighter. It's getting warmer, and flowers are blooming in the valley. Some trees have shed their dark leaves and replaced them with tender green buds.

The third army commander looked at the valley and touched his forehead with his hand. Flowers were really blooming in the valley. Ah, Li Yan transplanted almost all the wild flowers around the valley. Now they are spread from the water pool to the south to the foot of the mountain, and then from the water pool to the north to a few feet in front of the stone house. There are colorful wild flowers everywhere, big ones. , small, tall, short, the mixed fragrance was so rich and dizzying in this spring that even when he was in the house, his nose was filled with the fragrance of various flowers.

He shook his head and looked. In the water pool among the flowers, Li Yan's breath was practicing steadily. At this time, his breath seemed to have broken through the early stage of Qi Condensation.

"Okay, now you can do whatever you want, practice like this. If it continues, it is estimated that in another year, you may be able to break through to the late or peak level of Qi Condensation. No matter whether you have reached the peak of the first level, you have to give it a try. Now it is a problem for you to use more than 30% of your spiritual power. After one year, it is estimated that only 20% of the spiritual power can be used. 20% of the spiritual power is already the minimum requirement for dealing with the later stage of the first phase of Qi Condensation. Otherwise, if it is delayed further, we will not know who can suppress whom by then." The third military division There was a hint of ferocity on the black face.

Half an hour later, around midnight, Li Yan walked out of the pool and went back to the house to change into a clean black robe. , came to the first stone houseFront.

"Teacher, I want to go to the city today. I haven't brought last month's silver to my family yet."

"Okay, you go." A voice came from inside the house. Later, Master Ji was used to Li Yan's behavior of leaving the valley for half a month or a month. Anyway, every time he came back, he would improve his cultivation and his spirit would be stable for a period of time.

Li Yan bowed and planned to go back to the house to take some silver and go out. However, at this moment, the hesitant voice of Master Ji came from behind him: "Disciple, you...you are entering the city this time." Finally, try to leave as much money as you can for your family, and don’t waste it on useless things. Every time you bring back large and small bags of things, you don’t see how much you have used them.”

Li. After speaking for a moment, he smiled knowingly, turned around again and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I won't buy a lot."

"Oh..." There was silence in the room.

Not long after, I heard a commotion outside the valley, and Chen An and Li Yin led their horses away amidst shouts and shouts.

Time passed like this little by little, and at noon, in the Military Advisor's Mansion, "Sir, someone in the city is coming to see you. Marshal Hong needs you to come over and say that he has something important to discuss."

"Oh, it's noon, what's the big deal." Ji Junshi is adjusting his breath and meditating in the house. Since he came back from Daqingshan half a year ago, he has changed from joining the army in the past few days to tens of thousands at a time. I only go once every day or even half a month. I usually meditate and adjust my breathing in the valley. He had just entered the city two days ago to discuss the military defense of Meng. Why did he have to go again today? Maybe something big happened. Although he didn't want to go, he still wanted to use this place for now. He really couldn't ignore it. asked.

Thinking of this, the Jijun division stood up and walked out.

Li Yan looked at the sun, and then smiled at Li Yu and Li Shan who were at the same table. Today, there were only three of him at the table, but he didn't call anyone else. Chen An and Li Yin were not far away. We had to sit at a table alone.

"Li Yu, in the past six months, I have seen that your cooking skills have really improved a lot. Now you have gone from being a helper to a full-time cook. I originally hoped to eat the dishes you cooked, haha

Li Yu blushed and said, "Brother Yan, I'm still a long way from being a cook. Well, I estimate that after another year or so, I might be able to start learning. By then, what do you think?" I'll cook whatever you want."

"Okay, Brother Yan will definitely come to eat." At this point, Li Yan showed a hint of loneliness.

Li Yu and Li Shan really didn't notice these changes in him. Half of their minds were on the delicious food on the table. Every time Li Yan came to the city, he always asked them to have a good meal, so that he could People are very happy.

Li Yan just paused for a moment, and then looked at Li Shan with a smile, "Li Shan, have you bought the belt I asked you to buy for me last time?"

Li Shanzui With a bulging mouth, he raised his head, smiled, and said vaguely, "Yes, yes, it's here.""As he spoke, he reached into his arms with one hand, took out a belt and handed it to Li Yan.

Li Yan reached out and took it. It was a purple, palm-wide belt. He stood happily. He stood up, took off the black belt around his waist, and tied up the purple belt. Paired with his black robe, he really looked a bit handsome.

Chen An, Li Yin raised his head and glanced here, then lowered his head to drink. The two of them were speechless at this man's shopping addiction. They were crazy and wanted to buy everything. Even after buying it, they couldn't use a few items. .

Li Yan hesitated, handed the original black belt to Li Shan and said, "Li Shan, give this and the silver I gave you earlier to your uncle when he comes to the city next time. Let them bring it to my parents. "After speaking, his tone became a little lower.

Li Shan and Li Yu looked up at each other and felt that something was wrong with Li Yan today.
