Chapter 147 Seeing Old Friends Again (2-in-1)

A month later, Dianqing and Zhang Qi returned to Zaiying, and with them came more than twenty people, all former disciples of the Pijia Sect and soldiers of Wei Wuzu.

Dianqing brought them to meet Li Chen and were arranged to live in Xiaoyaomen.

Most of these twenty people are in the seventh or eighth grade, and they are considered good players in the current Xiaoyao Sect. They are also familiar with Liu Tong and Zhang Qi, and they are relatively trustworthy when doing things.

Li Chen also left Zaiying again one month after Dianqing and others returned.

Li Chen has been staying in Zaiying since he met Song Yu at the Dongting Lake two years ago.

However, two years later, no enemies came to the door, and Li Chen's worries gradually disappeared.

During this trip, Li Chen calculated that he might not come back in a short time.

After leaving Zaiying Zaiying, Li Chen went straight to Yingchen. After all, the capital of the Chu Kingdom had taken root here for forty years.

However, after searching in Yingchen, nothing was found.

So, he took a boat down the Ying River and arrived in Shouchun, the current capital of Chu State, two days later.

Shouchun is the seventh and last capital of Chu State. It has only been five years since the capital was moved here.

Although when the Chu State moved its capital to Shouchun, its national power was already much weaker than before. However, as one of the longest-existing countries, Chu State was not forced to move its capital to Shouchun because of war, so Shouchun's prosperity was not inferior to that of other countries.

The royal capital of the country.

Shouchun was built on the edge of the Huaihe River, with waterways crisscrossing the city. The uniqueness of the Qinhuai Water Town is vividly displayed here.

The king of Chu at this time was King Chu You, who was said to be the child of Chunshenjun Huang Xie.

Li Chen had no interest in confirming these gossips.

At this time, there were three forces in Shouchun, one was the royal family headed by King Chu You, and the other was the force headed by Ling Yin Li Yuan.

The last party is composed of the forces of Gong Zi Fu Chu and the Xiang family, the military strategists of Chu State.

Li Chen came here to find out whether the copper box related to Canglong Qisu from Chu State was still in his hand, and to find a token about Canglong Qisu at the same time.

The main place to start is King Chu You and Young Master Fu Chu.

As the king of Chu at this time, King Chu You should know a lot; and there should be some secrets for the young master to win the throne after carrying the cud.

After Li Chen arrived in Shouchun, he did not take action immediately, but instead inquired about the market.

Only then did I realize that the situation in Shouchun was not much worse than that of Xinzheng.

Prince Fuchu joined forces with the Xiang family and other Chu nobles, and the relationship between them and Li Yuan, the commander-in-chief, was like fire and water.

King Chu You, on the other hand, sat aside and kept getting angry.

Li Chen shook his head. These things are not urgent. When you come here, you have to play with them first.

After renting a boat and hiring a boatman, Li Chen lay on the boat, drank wine, and enjoyed the wonderful scenery of Shouchun.

After traveling around the city for two days, Li Chen had to stop because an old friend came to him.

Looking at Jing Ke who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Chen twitched his lips: "How did you know I was here?"

Jing Ke put down the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "Brothers from the Mo family accidentally saw you taking a boat out for fun."

Li Chen was stunned for a moment: "Brothers of the Mo family? Apart from you, does anyone else in the Mo family know me?"

Jing Ke laughed: "Brother Li, you may not know that you killed four Tianzi first-class assassins in Luowang in Xinzheng, and fought with the farmer Siyuetang in Chudi, forcing the farmer Kuai Tian Guang to bow his head. You

His name is well-known among hundreds of scholars."

Li Chen heard this and smiled bitterly: "So I am already so famous?"

Jing Ke nodded and said: "Yes, you have been listed as a person not to be messed with by hundreds of scholars. There should be portraits of you in hundreds of scholars now."

Li Chen picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, somewhat dumbfounded: "So, I have become a trouble."

Shaking his head, he looked at Jing Ke and asked, "What about you? Do you have any business coming to Chu?"

Jing Ke nodded and said: "A senior of the Mo family has something to do in Chu State. I am here to protect him."

Li Chen picked up the wine bottle and toasted Jing Ke.

Jing Ke drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, looked at Li Chen and asked, "Brother Li, I came to see you this time because I want to compete with you in swordsmanship again."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Okay, right here?"

Jing Ke drank all the wine in the wine bottle again, put it down and said: "A battle outside the city."

After saying that, he put down the wine bottle, stood up and walked towards the door.

Li Chen nodded, drank all the wine in the bottle, took out two gold coins and put them on the table, then followed Jing Ke and walked out of the city.

After a while, the two came to a mountain forest outside Shouchun City.

Jing Ke turned around, looked at Li Chen and said: "In the past few years, I have learned some Mohist swordsmanship under the guidance of Juzi.

Moreover, my "Eighteen Shocking Swords" has now been completely created, Brother Li, you have to be careful."

Li Chen nodded, Li Shenjian appeared in his hand, looked at Jing Ke and said: "Brother Jing, I am ready, you can start."

Jing Ke nodded, the long sword in his hand instantly unsheathed, and stabbed straight at Li Chen.

When Li Chen saw this, he couldn't help but nodded. Jing Ke's strength has improved a lot compared to before, and his realm has reached the peak of the third level.

Facing the long sword that was thrust straight at him, Li Chen was not polite. He did a sword trick with the Li Shen Jian in his right hand, drawing Jing Ke's sword to one side. At the same time, he took a step forward, and the blade of the sword struck Jing Ke's shoulder.

go.

Seeing this, Jing Ke moved his body a step to the side, and immediately retracted the sword in his hand, blocking Li Chen's change of moves.

Li Chen didn't expect that he could achieve great feats with just one sword, so he used the "Thirteen Swords of Shenmen" and pointed at Jing Ke's sword-holding hand.

Facing Li Chen's attack, Jing Ke did not retreat but advanced, shouting: "Eighteen shocking swords."

The sword moved at a high speed, and with a hint of madness, he attacked Li Chen.

Seeing that Jing Ke didn't want to hide, Li Chen quickly shrank Li Shen in front of him, just in time to block the tip of Jing Ke's attacking sword.

Then, Li Chen no longer held back his hand, the sword energy came out from his body, and the sword light met Jing Ke's sword technique and attacked forward.

In an instant, the light of the sword flashed in the woods, and the sound of the collision of gold and iron could be heard endlessly. The trees around the two of them were cut in half under the destruction of the sword energy, and became a mess.

After a while, Jing Ke's "Eighteen Shocking Swords" had been used completely, but they were all resolved by Li Chen.

Seeing this, Jing Ke sighed: "It seems that my "Eighteen Shocking Swords" is not yet mature enough to cause interference to Brother Li."

Then, the sword move suddenly changed. It was no longer an indomitable killing move, but began to become majestic.

When Li Chen saw this, Li Shenjian kept attacking. While blocking Jing Ke's sword moves, he began to counterattack Jing Ke...

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. With Li Chen deliberately holding it back, Jing Ke practiced almost all of the "Eighteen Shocking Swords" he created and the swordsmanship he learned in the Mohist School.

Seeing that he still hadn't defeated Li Chen, Jing Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Li, I still have a sword move, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it back if I use it now."

Li Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Brother Jing, is this the Mohist's "Ten Steps and One Kill"? I want to see it."

Jing Ke nodded and walked forward. With each step he took, the energy in his body gathered a little more. By the seventh step, the sword energy in his body had reached its peak.

Li Chen's pupils shrank, the Lishen Sword was placed across his chest, and all the kendo aura of the second realm was concentrated in the sword.

Jing Ke had already taken the eighth step. He looked up at Li Chen and said, "Brother Li, be careful!"

Then the ninth step fell, and then the tenth step was taken. At the same time, the long sword in his hand stabbed straight towards Li Chen.

Li Chen felt that a murderous aura had enveloped him, and a feeling of nowhere to escape came to his heart.

Li Chen didn't dare to be careless. He raised the Lishen Sword forward with all his sword energy gathered, and heard a loud "dang" sound. The two swords touched each other, and the condensed energy suddenly dispersed.

The surrounding big trees that had escaped damage before were also shaken up and down by the impact at this moment.

When all the storms subsided, the Li Shen Sword in Li Chen's hand had disappeared. Jing Ke knelt on one knee with the long sword in front of him, his right arm holding the sword trembling uncontrollably, and he was breathing heavily.

After a while, Jing Ke gradually calmed down, stood up, put the long sword into the scabbard, and showed a wry smile: "Brother Li, you are really a monster.

When we first met, I could barely keep up with you, but I didn't expect that your strength has improved so much in just three years."

Li Chen smiled: "Brother Jing is not bad either. The last move, "Ten Steps to Kill", is so powerful that I almost couldn't stop it."

Jing Ke smiled bitterly again: "Brother Li, please stop comforting me. If you hadn't stopped me just now, I might have died under that sword."

Li Chen smiled and stopped defending. After all, with the help of the system, he was now at the late first level, two realms higher than Jing Ke. It was not difficult to block Jing Ke's killing move.

Jing Ke shook his head and laughed again: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your advice. After I go back this time, I will work hard to practice my sword. I hope I can fight Brother Li again in the future."

Li Chen nodded: "With Brother Jing's talent and strength, he will definitely be much stronger next time we meet."

Jing Ke nodded: "Then I'll borrow Brother Li's good advice. Now that the sword competition is over, I'll take my leave."

Looking at Jing Ke's leaving figure, Li Chen was silent for a while, and then he called out to Jing Ke: "Brother Jing, I have something to say here, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

Jing Ke turned around, looked at Li Chen and said: "Brother Li, although you and I have only met three times, we can still be considered friends! If you have anything to say, just say it and I will definitely listen."

Li Chen nodded: "Brother Jing, the skill you practiced back then had a lot of involvement behind it. Although it has been solved now, the person behind it will definitely not be willing to accept it.
