Xishan Yechuan, somewhere in the vast mountains, on the top of a cliff.
Youdao's tall and tall figure stood next to the cliff, with his hands behind his back.
Surprisingly, it was Liang Shi.
The bright moonlight shone on his face, making his face that was not angry and intimidating look even more stern.
At this moment, Youdao's figure floated from the bottom of the cliff to Liang Shi.
He looked about fifty years old, with a beard that reached his chest, and a sword on his waist. Judging from his demeanor, he looked like a fairy-like figure.
However, after this man, who was somewhat of an immortal and had obviously good cultivation, stamped his feet in front of Liang Shi, he suddenly lifted up the hem of his trousers and knelt down on one knee on the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
"Um."
Liang Shi nodded lightly, "No need to be so polite."
The voice was actually somewhat gentle, not as cold as when facing Qinglong and Tiangan masters.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
But this man did not dare to be rude. He thanked him first, then slowly stood up and stood next to Liang Shi.
Liang Shi said slowly: "Today you responded well to the opportunity and did not show up. From now on, I will continue to be your sword master. If there are any changes, I will inform you again."
"yes……"
The man agreed softly again.
Probably no one would have thought that the person who was so humble in front of Liang Shi at this time would be the world-famous sword master of the Jianfu, Wu Jingchuan.
Dayu is at the top of the list of masters and is also the leader of swordsmanship.
Then there was a slight silence.
Wu Jingchuan seemed to be unable to bear the doubts in his heart and asked: "Your Majesty, who is that person who hurt you? I see that he is so young, how can he have such cultivation?"
He frowned tightly.
Back then, he was also an unparalleled genius in Jianfu. He had just entered the arena and was already at the level of a master.
In just a few years, he made it to the master list.
After returning to the Sword Mansion and taking over the position of Sword Master, within five years, he was once again ranked at the top of the Grandmaster list.
There is no one who can wield a sword better than him in the world.
In the past ten years or so, there have been many rookies and veteran masters who have challenged the Jianfu. But he has always been firmly at the top of the Grandmaster list.
"Hurt me?"
Liang Shi chuckled lightly, "Even if he used Old Man Xiao's sword-drawing attack, his strength is still not as good as yours. How could he possibly hurt me?"
"Your Majesty..."
Wu Jingchuan was obviously a little surprised.
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
There was nothing he could ask more about Liang Shi's plan.
And Liang Shi didn't know what his thoughts were, and said: "I just don't want my daughter to hate me to the bone. It just so happens that his strength is barely enough to catch my eye, so I took advantage of the situation and pretended to be injured. This way I can avoid you."
Show up.”
"hehe."
As he spoke, he suddenly chuckled, "But I have to say, that boy is indeed a character! Even you and me, at his age, how can we compare with him?"
"yes……"
Wu Jingchuan also sighed and said: "I am not afraid of the prince's jokes. I was brought into the Jianfu by my master since I was a child, and I am the most talented genius in the Jianfu. The sages in the Jianfu who were the fastest to break into the master realm are not as good as me. But
At his age...I seem to be in the third or fourth grade, probably fourth grade...compared to him, I am really far behind."
"It's a pity that it may not be of use to me."
Liang Shi said again.
"Why?"
Wu Jingchuan couldn't help but ask.
Liang Shi shook his head, "You will understand after some time."
After saying that, he waved his hand.
Wu Jingchuan didn't ask any more questions, held up his hands, and jumped off the cliff. His figure rose and fell on the cliff and quickly disappeared into the night.
Liang Shi still stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands folded, looking at the night in the distance.
…
In the blink of an eye, it's the next day.
Because Lu Fang defeated Liang Shi, this finally reduced the tense atmosphere in the village a little.
After all, the powerful enemy was already approaching before, but now even if the crisis has not been resolved, it does not count as having a knife held to his neck.
After Xu Jingnian left, Lu Liang truly became the leader of the martyrs of the previous dynasties in the Western Mountains and Wild Rivers.
It was early in the morning, and Lu Fang was washing his face under Zhu'er's service. Someone came from below the stilted building and shouted, "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness wants you to go to the meeting hall."
In fact, Lu Fang was not used to others calling him that, and he was a bit shabby.
I have never seen such a destitute prince.
But since his life experience was made public, everyone in the village called him that, and they were always very respectful, so he couldn't change anything.
This kind of etiquette is imprinted in the minds of these people.
Fortunately, it was Jiang Zimo, and Fu'er and the others would not kneel down to Lu Fang at every turn.
"Um."
Lu Fang agreed, handed the towel to Zhu'er, and then walked downstairs.
The meeting hall is actually just a wooden house in the village.
He knew why Lu Liang summoned everyone to the council hall for discussion. After holding the cremation ceremony for the dead masters last night, Lu Liang took him to the room to talk about it.
Although Liang Shi retreated, the crisis still existed.
Xu Jinnian has already taken care of the matter of contacting the rebels.
But they have to deal with Wu Gou who may come back next, the master of the watchman, or the army of Chengdu Prefecture.
For this matter, Lu Fang didn't have any substantive suggestions.
At present, although there are many masters in the village, compared to the entire Chongqing Dynasty, he and Lu Liang are like Zhu Yuanzhang who just joined the rebel army.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang still had Guo Zixing to rely on, and he successfully recruited Guo Zixing's team to make a fortune.
At this time, he and Lu Liang could only wait for news from Xu Jingnian. It was still unknown whether there would be rebels coming to defect.
Therefore, Lu Fang just expressed two opinions to Lu Liang to stabilize people's hearts and find a way out.
To put it bluntly, you need to appease the people in the village first, and don't wait for the people from the court to come and kill your people before your own people begin to lose heart.
After all, this was a real fight with the Chongqing imperial court, instead of just living a peaceful life in a cottage in the name of a remnant of the previous dynasty.
Lu Fang felt sensitively from the cremation ceremony of those masters yesterday that the hearts of some people in the village had been shaken.
It is true that they all want to regain the former imperial court, but not everyone may be willing to risk their lives for this, and may not be willing to watch their relatives die for this.
As for the way out, it has to do with Xu Jinnian.
If, after waiting for the imperial army to attack, there are still no rebels coming to defect, then there is obviously no need to hold on to the few mountain strongholds in Xishan Yechuan.
Where should Lu Liang take people then?
In terms of remoteness and chaos, it might be difficult for the entire Chongqing to find a more suitable place for them to hide than Xishan Yechuan.
Perhaps, then, we can really only leave the boundary of Dayu and go to Dabo Country, which borders Dayu to the west, or other national boundaries.
I just don't know if Su Yu, Shen Jianbao and others will have other suggestions when Lu Liang raises this matter in the meeting hall.
