Chapter 69 Reunion after a long separation

three months later

When Shen Youzhi rode his horse and rushed to Di Renjie's mansion, Li Yuanfang had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Since the imperial court's sea arrest documents were issued, he would watch at the door from time to time, waiting for Shen Youzhi to show up.

Even Ruyan was made more and more curious by him as to what kind of person Shen Youzhi was that could be so admired by the arrogant General Li.

Originally, Li Yuanfang thought that Shen Youzhi should see the Haidu documents and rush to Shendu in two or three months at most, but he never thought that he would have to wait for six months.

Shen Youzhi was also helpless. He knew that his departure could be as short as half a year or as long as a year. He had to arrange the forces under his command first to ensure that nothing unexpected happened during this period, so he came to meet Di Renjie after three months.

Fortunately, his intelligence system has opened the link between Shendu and Changzhou. Whether he is issuing orders to Changzhou or receiving information from his subordinates, it is very secretive and fast.

In this way, even if he is far away in Luoyang, he can still control all the forces under his command.

"Brother Yuanfang, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Feeling deeply worried, the queen immediately raised her hands to Li Yuanfang and asked.

Li Yuanfang returned the greeting and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Shen. Everything is well!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, the mutual sympathy between the two has not diminished at all.

This is what the saying goes, "There are close friends in the sea, and there are neighbors in the world."

"Your Excellency has not returned from court early. When he comes back to see Brother Shen, he will definitely be happy!"

Li Yuanfang said while leading Shen Youzhi to the inner hall.

As the two were walking, they met a pretty lady wearing a light yellow palace dress. She was Su Xian'er, a spirit-changer who had reformed her evil ways.

Of course, she should be called Ruyan now.

When Li Yuanfang saw this, he recommended to Shen Youzhi: "Brother Shen, this is Ruyan, Lord Di's niece."

Shen Youzhi nodded when he saw this, cupped his hands at Ruyan and said, "Miss Ruyan."

Ruyan also hurriedly knelt down and returned the gift, and joked: "This must be the hero Shen who General Li has always been thinking about."

These days, Li Yuanfang is waiting for news about Shen Youzhi every day. She is a little jealous, so she is teasing him like this.

After hearing this, Li Yuanfang pretended to be angry and said: "What nonsense are you talking about!

Brother Shen, please ignore her, that’s just the way she is.”

When Shen Youzhi heard this, he waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "It doesn't matter, Miss Ruyan is so innocent and innocent, and she and Brother Yuanfang are a perfect match!"

Not to mention that Shen Youzhi already knew the inside story, even those who have not read the original work should know that their relationship is extraordinary after seeing the tacit understanding between the two people bickering.

"Brother Shen, what are you doing?"

Li Yuanfang was a little helpless.

Ruyan lowered her head shyly, and her affection for Shen Youzhi deepened a bit.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go into the inner hall and reminisce about old times!" Li Yuanfang said.

Shen Youzhi nodded.

Immediately, the three of them went to the inner hall together.

Before the three of them could sit down, they heard Di Chun coming to report: "General Li, Miss Ruyan, the master is back!"

Before Di Renjie's people arrived, the three of them heard his friendly voice: "Yuanfang, has Youzhi already arrived?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Di Renjie, who had just left the court meeting, striding towards him.

When Di Renjie entered the room and saw Shen Youzhi standing with a sword, he couldn't stop smiling and praised: "Okay, great! I haven't seen you for several years, and Youzhi is still so energetic!"

Shen Youzhi joked: "My lord is as generous and fat as ever!"

As soon as these words came out, Di Renjie immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

Even Li Yuanfang, who has always been serious, couldn't help laughing.

Ruyan covered her mouth and snickered.

However, after being teased by Shen Youzhi, the sense of unfamiliarity that they had not seen for many years was completely gone.

This is how you get along with Di Renjie, you can't be too serious, otherwise it will look too raw.

Di Renjie is not a rigid person. As long as he does not violate his principles, he will not care about these small things.

"You! You!"

Di Renjie laughed, pointed at Shen Youzhi, and said helplessly.

Afterwards, the four of them sat down separately.

Di Chun brought tea, and after Di Renjie took it, he asked Shen Youzhi about the news about the Snake Spirit General Altar.

When Shen Youzhi saw this, he said: "Your Excellency distributed the documents about the sea fishing of snake spirits to all states and counties, presumably to remind me to come to see you."

"Yeah." Di Renjie nodded and praised: "You are still as smart as ever!"

Seeing that the heat was almost up, Shen Youzhi didn't delay any longer and told Di Renjie what he knew about the Snake Spirit General Altar.

Di Renjie patiently listened to Shen Youzhi's story and sighed: "I didn't expect that the main altar of snake spirits would be so dangerous!"

Originally, Di Renjie thought that after obtaining the location of the Snake Spirit General Altar, he could mobilize an army to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop.

Now after listening to Shen Youzhi's story, the Snake Spirit General Altar is hidden deep in the mountains and densely covered with agencies, which makes it unfavorable for the army to move.

If you want to defeat the Snake Spirit, you can only use a small force to enter the main altar first, and only after breaking through the trap can the larger army have room to use their skills.

"Brother Shen, you have fought against Shining. How was his martial arts?" Li Yuanfang suddenly asked.

He and Di Renjie have slightly different concerns.

Di Renjie is the commander-in-chief, so he naturally has to consider the overall situation.

As a general, Li Yuanfang is of course more concerned about the opponent's top combat power.

"Shining's martial arts is best known for his speed." Shen Youzhi replied: "Looking at his body movements, he should be practicing hidden arts."

"Is it a hidden skill?" Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "This is a martial art that killers often practice."

After all, he was born in the martial arts world, and he is very familiar with all kinds of martial arts in the martial arts world.

"Brother Shen, what's the outcome between you and Shining?" Li Yuanfang asked again.

"He and I broke down more than fifty moves, but we still can't decide the winner." Shen Youzhi replied: "But in my estimation, Shining's martial arts is still inferior to Yuan Qi's."

Shen Youzhi's martial arts skills are comparable to Li Yuanfang's, only slightly higher than Shining's. Naturally, he cannot be defeated within fifty moves.

But if you compare The Shining with Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi is better.

At this point, Li Yuanfang also has a relatively clear understanding of the strength of The Shining.

Ru Yan, who was on the side, exclaimed: "Shining Ling is the leader of the six snake heads and the number one master of snake spirits.

It’s really admirable that Master Shen can compete with him on an equal footing!"

She was born as a snake spirit. Although she didn't know how high Shining's martial arts was, she also knew that the opponent was far beyond her. She was naturally surprised that Shenyou could compete with Shining.

However, Shen Youzhi "didn't know" her details, so he "puzzled" and said, "Miss Ruyan also knows about The Shining?"

In the eyes of "Chen Youzhi", Ruyan is just Di Renjie's niece, a noble girl, how can she know so much about a killer like Shining?

When Li Yuanfang saw this, he told Shen Youzhi about Ru Yan's life experience.

"That's it." After hearing this, Shen Youzhi nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Ruyan is also a hero among women."

Ru Yan said: "My martial arts skills can only be considered so-so. Compared with you and General Li, they are far behind!"

"If Miss Yan is too modest, if you are one of the six snake heads in the Snake Spirit, how can your martial arts be just so-so?" Shen Youzhi said deliberately: "Among the women I have met, your martial arts should be at least average. Ranked second.”

When Ru Yan heard this, he subconsciously asked: "What's the first one?"

Shen Youzhi smiled and said: "The first is that I met a snake spirit killer in Liuzhou."

"Snake spirit killer?" Ru Yan asked in surprise: "Who is it?"

She had heard of all the female killers among the Snake Spirits, but she could not think of any one whose martial arts skills could make Shen Youzhi, who was not inferior to The Shining, have such a high evaluation.

Li Yuanfang was equally curious. His knowledge of the other masters of Snake Spirit was limited to Ru Yan's oral narratives, and he still knew nothing about their specific strength.

"I don't know her name either. I only know that she is the master of Snake Spirit Nine Hall." Shen Youzhi replied.

"Jiutang!" Ruyan exclaimed immediately: "You mean Jiutang?"

Shen Youzhi replied with a "surprised" look: "Yes, she told me that she is the head of the Nine Halls."

When Li Yuanfang saw Ruyan reacting so violently, she couldn't help but ask, "Ruyan, what's wrong?"

Even Di Renjie, who had always been calm, cast a doubtful look.
