73, speak with your sword
Two days later, the expected pursuit in a violent storm did not appear. Instead, due to sleepless driving, they arrived at Li City, hundreds of miles away from Yongling.
Licheng is an ancient city with a history of nearly a thousand years. In the former dynasty, it was called "Kyoto", which means the gateway to Kyoto. It is an important place to defend Kyoto. Not only does Licheng have a regular establishment of thousands of soldiers, but also Lieutenant Si San is stationed there. Thousands of soldiers gathered together, and once the beacon tower of Yongling was lit, Lieutenant Sijiafu soldiers would all dispatch.
"Licheng is the prefecture of Qingzhou. The name of the prefect is Chen Ping. He is known as the Shadowless Divine Sword in the world. He was also a teacher in the inner courtyard. I have a good relationship with him. He was appointed as the prefect of Licheng and I recommended him."
Chen Liuyun looked at the familiar scenery outside the window and suddenly said.
"Is it the Shadowless Sword that is as famous as Wushuang?" Yan Li knew the weight of a prefect.
The status of teachers in the inner court is indeed special, but compared with the governor in charge of a state, it is still a bit inferior. You must know that most matters within the state can be decided by the prefect on his own, which is equivalent to the local emperor.
Chen Liuyun said: "At least among the swordsmen I have seen, there is no one faster than him."
"It's rare that you would praise someone like this." Yan Li said.
A faint smile appeared on Shen Liuyun's lips: "We met during the examination in the inner courtyard. Due to different ideas, we had great conflicts and fought many times on the martial arts stage. Of course, it was me. I won a little more. Later, I stayed in the hospital as a tutor. He declined the appointment and went to work in the world. He got the nickname Wuying Shenjian. Suddenly one day he came back and said he wanted to be a tutor. Of course, the senior brother had no reason to refuse. He is such a master.
"Since our ideas are different, why would you recommend him?" Yan Li smiled and said, "Maybe you think he is an eyesore and deliberately made excuses to drive him away."
Shen Liuyun couldn't help laughing and said: "Of course this is one of the reasons. What's more important is that this person is very talented and knowledgeable. He has a deep understanding of "Lunce". He once wrote an article that caused a sensation in Kyoto during the examination of the inner court. The article's bold arguments are unprecedented. I will show them to you when this matter is over."
Yan Li nodded and asked: "Since you recognize his talent, how can there be conflicts?"
Shen Liuyun thought for a while and said: "This person is impatient, very proactive in everything, and likes to force others to follow his pace. For example, if the academy wants to hold an activity, if he feels it is meaningful, he will be very enthusiastic about it. heart, and forces those around him to act with him.”
Yan Li immediately understood. With Shen Liuyun's calm and indifferent character, who didn't care much about anything, he was naturally very disgusted with this. It was a miracle that the two of them didn't turn against each other.
"There are not many rumors about the Shadowless Divine Sword in the world, but there is one that impressed me deeply. In a small county town, he saved a family of children who were bullied by bullies, and then forced everyone in the city to learn from him. Wu, even an eighty-year-old woman, was not spared. She had to get up every day when the rooster crowed, otherwise she would knock on the door from door to door. It was so noisy at that time that she thought there were rebels preparing for an 'armed uprising'."
Chen Liuyun couldn't help laughing: "I know, it was my senior brother who persuaded him to come back later. Now you know why you recommended him. By the way, if you meet him, you'd better stay away, otherwise you guys There will definitely be a fight."
At this time, we climbed to the top of the hillside, and our sight suddenly opened up. Under the setting sun, as far as the eye could see, between two endless mountains, there was the outline of a huge mountain city, and there were gradually more and more cars and horses.
"It's been too peaceful these two days." Yan Li looked at the city from a distance, hesitantly.
Shen Liuyun said: "Could it be that they, like the 'little people' you mentioned, went to protect themselves?"
"Impossible." Yan Li denied directly, "In the few days I was in the Judgment Division, what impressed me most was their harsh style. If they were so greedy for life and fearful of death, they would not have been selected to join the Judgment Department in the first place. manage."
"That's right. Li Yong's methods are worthy of recognition."
After a pause, Shen Liuyun continued, "No matter what, I have to go to the city today. I haven't taken a shower for two days and now I feel uncomfortable. If there is an ambush in the city, just go to Chen Ping. Although I don't want to ask for help. For him, but if it were him, he would definitely be able to tell that my sanity is normal, and the road back to Yongling will be easier."
Yan Li sighed, as usual, he would have to make fun of him before he would be willing to do so.
There were no difficulties in entering the city, and they found an inn to stay. Shen Liuyun ordered hot water and went to take a bath. Yan Li had a quick bite in the lobby, then planned to go back to his room to rest, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a big man.
"Why is she here?"
She quietly followed the big man to the second floor of the inn, waited for him to open the door, and rushed into the house first.
The big man was startled at first, then became happy, and then went in and closed the door. The appearance of his body gradually changed, revealing a petite and exquisite figure. It was Fu'er.
"Master, why are you here?" Fu'er hugged Yan Li's hand with joy.
"I still want to ask you." Yan Li's disguise did not deceive her, "Why are you here? Aren't you always active in Yongling? A killer of your level is still running around, so you are not afraid. A master found out and took you to be a concubine?"
"Fu'er doesn't want to be someone else's concubine." Fu'er said with a smile, "The master will come to save me anyway."
"How can I save you if I can't protect myself?" Yan Li rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you know that I am now the most vicious wanted criminal in the country?"
"I know, the treasonous evil party Yan Li, hee hee."
"I know you're still so happy!"
"Because she is a treasonous and evil party woman. She sounds so majestic."
Yan Li put his hand on his forehead: "Although I shouldn't have any expectations for a troubled child like you. But I still want to ask, is there any news about Ji Tiansheng?"
"Ah, stinky master, Fu'er is not a child anymore, he is an adult!" Fu'er pouted in protest. Then she tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It seems that there is one. Before Fu'er left, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor did not know why. What happened? I was so angry that I fainted."
"Fainted?" Yan Li couldn't help but be stunned, "Is the news reliable?"
"Fu'er heard what my colleagues said, I don't know whether it's true or not." When Fu'er said this, her face suddenly turned pale, "Ah! Ah! Master, you are in danger now, you have to run away quickly." Far away."
"You just know that I am very dangerous!" Yan Li was almost mad at her.
"I'm so happy." Fu'er vomited out her sweet tongue in embarrassment and made a face again.
"I punish you by keeping a vigil for me!" Yan Li shook her off and threw herself on the bed. "I haven't slept for two days. You will guard the door tonight. If there is any movement, wake me up immediately."
"Wow, that's someone else's bed!"
...a night of silence.
When the first ray of light fell from the eastern sky, Yan Li opened his eyes on time. Such a night passed so peacefully that he began to doubt his own judgment.
"Why is there another one? Where did you kidnap it from?"
Hearing the sound, Yan Li discovered that Shen Liuyun was standing by the window sill at some unknown time.
"What do you mean another one?" He realized what he said and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is really not what you thought."
So he told Fu'er's story from beginning to end, and finally said: "She is still a child, I won't be so heartbroken."
"Then you still want her to keep vigil?" Shen Liuyun glared at him, "This little girl is so pitiful. When I came here in the morning, her eyes were red, but she still refused to close them."
Yan Li shook his head and smiled: "How do you know I'm here, where is Fuler?"
Shen Liuyun said: "Don't forget, I am a real person, how can you hide your aura from me? I let her sleep in my room. We are not suitable to take her on the road. I told her that she would leave on her own when she wakes up. Just in case. In case, the medicine has been prepared, go out of the city and find a place where no one is around to cook it."
Yan Li nodded. The two of them simply packed up and drove the carriage out of the city.
Half an hour later, I found a deserted place and lit a bonfire to cook medicine.
"The little girl is very weird." Shen Liuyun said while adding medicinal materials to the medicine jar.
Yan Li took a broken fan and blew air into the campfire, saying, "What's weird?"
"I really didn't see her cross-dressing technique at first." Shen Liuyun said, "It's neither an illusion nor a disguise. I can't see the root of it. You have to be careful."
"I was very resistant before, but she didn't harm me after all. There's nothing worth coveting in me, so let her go."
Yan Li smiled nonchalantly and added, "By the way, I heard from Fu'er that Ji Tiansheng seemed to have encountered something and fainted from anger."
"Where does this nonsense come from?" Shen Liuyun said lightly, "Zhiyuan is stronger than you and me. No matter what happens, she can maintain self-control. There is no way that such a thing as you are talking about will happen."
Suddenly, both of them looked in the same direction, and saw a handsome and prosperous young man slowly walking over, with a harmless smile on his face: "I almost broke my leg trying to catch up with you two."
"Hypocritical, you seem to have plenty of time to spare." Yan Li said sarcastically.
"Alas, Brother Yan is becoming more and more prejudiced against me." The visitor sighed hypocritically.
Shen Liuyun said coldly: "Li Yixiu, how did you escape? How did you know we would be here?"
The person who came was none other than Li Yixiu, the current Jingzhao Yin.
"Don't get me wrong," Li Yixiu said with a smile, "I overheard your conversation and found out that your purpose is to return to Yongling. Brother Yan, do you want to hide behind women for the rest of your life?"
"What do you want?" Yan Li stood up.
"I have already said that I have no intention of getting into trouble with Brother Yan." When Li Yixiu said this, his smile suddenly changed, and his face was full of ridicule, "However, not everyone can call me brother. You are not worthy, use your The sword speaks."
