"Okay, I already said what needs to be said on the way here. All you need to do is act in accordance with the regulations of the government. Otherwise, you will have to admit that you will be punished.
The rules here are actually no different from those in the military, but strictness has its own benefits, so as to protect the safety of the Duke's Mansion.
Of course, if things are done well, there will be no less benefits at the end of each year. Your Majesty the Duke is not stingy about this, and he will be even more generous than you expected!"
After saying that, Lin Yuxing turned around and left.
Since he didn't get any useful information from this guy, he still had to go back and confirm something with the general as soon as possible, lest anything go wrong in the general's plan!
Li Yan faced Lin Yuxing's back and saluted with clasped fists.
"yes!"
After Lin Yu walked, Li Yan opened the door and walked into the courtyard. There were two and a half rooms in the courtyard, a bedroom, a living room, and a toilet.
The furnishings in the room are also extremely simple, with only the usual table, chair, bed, water cup and other daily utensils.
As for setting up a group in the courtyard, that is not possible. They need to go to the front hall to eat together. There are meals specially cooked for them by the head of the nursing home. Of course, you can also pack them and take them back.
Li Yan walked straight into the bedroom and immediately sat down on the edge of the bed.
Soon, he fell into deep thought.
After Cui Feng confirmed his identity, Li Yan took the lead in asking him some questions, to which Cui Feng answered all questions.
It turned out that after Li Yan went to Qingshan Pass alone, Cui Feng did not receive the news back until the evening of the fifth day.
That came from Li Du, a close accomplice of Li Yanyi who later led people to chase him. The Marshal's Mansion in Qingshan Pass was burned into a scorched ruin. No one in the mansion survived, and Confucius School was killed with an arrow.
In addition, they learned from the captured traitorous officers and soldiers that Marshal Li was taken away by a man in silver armor after he only showed his face outside the city, and that it was also the man in silver armor who shot Confucius.
At this moment, Cui Feng couldn't help but be shocked. Li Yan was the pinnacle of the army. If something happened to him, problems would arise on all sides of the dynasty's borders.
Some small countries that are already ready to take action may even take the opportunity to join forces with some big countries to attack together.
After Cui Feng quickly arranged the deployment and defense of "Luoxianpo", he rushed to Qingshan Pass alone overnight, and then finally found Li Du who was in the city.
When the two met, Cui Feng hurriedly asked who else knew about Li Yan's disappearance and whether Li Du had reported the news today.
As Li Yan's confidant, Li Du was a general himself, so he knew the meaning of Cui Feng's words.
He told Cui Feng that he had personally brought up the interrogation of the judge. At present, he had only told Cui Feng, who was closest to him, and he planned to go to Beijing in person to report the matter to the emperor in the next step.
Cui Feng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Li Yan's disappearance must not be known to outsiders, otherwise the dynasty will definitely be besieged by the enemy.
First of all, when the Confucian School rebelled, everyone who saw Li Yan on the wall was Rebels, at least this was not seen by the people in the city.
In addition, what Li Du did was extremely correct. Cui Feng was afraid that Li Du would not understand the importance of the matter, so he directly sent someone to deliver the memorial to the capital.
By that time, this secret memorial may have been known to some people before it was sent to the emperor.
Who knows if there are spies from other countries among those people, and it will be too late to properly deploy the troops.
However, it was impossible not to inform the emperor of such a big thing as Li Yan's disappearance, and it was necessary to let him know as soon as possible so that he was well aware of it.
Li Du planned to go to the capital in person and report to the emperor in person, which would be much safer.
Afterwards, Cui Feng and Li Du discussed and massacred all the rebels this time, further ensuring that this news could be kept secret for as long as possible.
Cui Feng later learned that Li Du had interrogated the rebels in detail and asked about the appearance of the people who took Li Yan away.
Since the opponent's whole body was covered in silver armor, although no one could see the opponent clearly, Li Du guessed that the person was Dong Lingmin, whom his master had let go.
For a moment, the two of them became confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
According to the rebels below, they sought refuge with the Meng Kingdom this time. But why did Dong Lingmin, a member of the royal family of the Meng Kingdom, shoot the Confucius School again? Wasn't this not killing one of his own people?
This didn't make sense at all, so they denied that the person who rescued Li Yan was Dong Lingmin, but they still vaguely felt that it was the other person.
Because those soldiers described the archery skills used to kill Confucius School, it was the undercurrent triple wave that could only be used with the combination of Yuanqingmen Zhenmen's internal strength skills.
Cui Feng and Li Du are both masters of martial arts. After just a few people's descriptions, they can basically confirm that the archery skill used by that person is the undercurrent triple wave, and the figure and attire of the man in silver armor are almost the same as Dong Lingmin.
.
Everything has become so confusing that people are confused as to what kind of plan Meng Guo is up to.
Putting all this aside, what they were most worried about was that something suddenly happened at the border ahead, that is, they saw Li Yan's head being suddenly picked out by Dong Lingmin, and this matter could no longer be concealed.
But what made Cui Feng and Li Du worry in vain was that this incident never happened, and since that battle, they never saw Dong Lingmin again.
It wasn't until the two sides stopped fighting seven years later that they realized that the other party had also been looking for Dong Lingmin, and the time of disappearance happened to be that day, but that was all a story later.
Cui Feng and Li Du's series of arrangements finally created delay for the dynasty. Before Li Yan's disappearance was discovered, they made a series of adjustments in time.
Whether it is to intimidate small countries or to establish close ties with distant countries, it has achieved certain results.
After that, Cui Feng reached the peak of his military career step by step, until
Ranked last as "Zhenguo Gong".
Li Du, on the other hand, died in battle in the northern border of the dynasty eight years after Li Yan disappeared, and was posthumously named "Dingbeihou".
After his death, Li Yan's sword that he had been carrying with the army was lost.
Later, after Cui Feng learned that he had disappeared, he spent a lot of manpower and financial resources, and finally found it in the hands of an army minister.
Cui Feng was so excited in the cave earlier that he wanted to drag Li Yan to Kyoto to see the current emperor in front of him, but Li Yan refused for inappropriate reasons.
Li Yan stated that today's emperor is also the prince of the old emperor, and the relationship between the emperor and his ministers is no longer what it used to be.
Now that he's gone with such an appearance, even old subordinates like Cui Feng find it hard to believe that it's him who has returned, let alone others?
They would only think that Cui Feng was losing his mind and going crazy, and even doubted whether he had ulterior motives.
When he came to look for Cui Feng this time, he found that everything had changed since he came out of the dangerous place that trapped him, and he was very different from before.
Given his current situation, he originally wanted to keep his name anonymous, but after hearing about Cui Feng's name and what happened, he decided to give it a try and came over to take a look.
Unexpectedly, Cui Feng is really from the old department back then. Now that he has found out some things clearly, it is even less likely that he will join the court as an official.
After some persuasion, Cui Feng saw that Li Yan was resolute and the reasons stated were true, so he had no choice but to give up.
In fact, even now, Cui Feng still doesn't fully believe what happened in front of him. If he thinks about it, if other people know Li Yan's identity, they will be even more unbelievable.
After Li Yan finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Cui Feng learned that he was alone and had no fixed place to live, and he didn't want him to leave at all.
He wanted Li Yan to stay temporarily and wait for an opportunity to find a high-ranking official for him later. Anyway, there are a few people who still remember the original Li Yan.
With Li Yan's literary talent and military strategy, he will definitely help the dynasty prosper for decades, and even usher in a century of peace and prosperity after pacifying some surrounding countries.
After Li Yan thought about it for a while, he agreed to stay for the time being, but refused to take any senior official position, saying that it would be better to be a nursing instructor here first.
Of course Cui Feng would not agree at first. How could he let the Grand Marshal he respected the most, a Martial Saint Grandmaster, look after his home and courtyard? When Li Yan saw this, he turned around and left.
Cui Feng had no choice but to agree first. He actually took the opportunity to further confirm Li Yan's identity, and at the same time, he didn't want Li Yan to wander around again.
As for Li Yan, he naturally had his own thoughts and ideas when he stayed.
Li Yan stared blankly at the afterglow of the evening outside the window. There were many things here that he simply couldn't figure out, and he felt quite depressed.
First of all, he can certainly be sure that he has never been a commander;
Secondly, at the beginning, it was the breeding of inner demons. To put it bluntly, it was just a dream, but how did it all become real?
In addition, Cui Feng is already a hundred Thirteen years old, which is not consistent with the age I calculated.
Cui Feng's two sons have died one after another. They have only cultivated to the first-class level, and the eldest one has lived to be over ninety years old.
As for the generals Li Yan once called "under his command", none of them are still alive today.
People like the current Lin Yuxing are the "younger generation" who followed Cui Feng after he was almost seventy years old. Otherwise, they would not be alive today. They have only heard of Li Yan's name and don't know much about him.
familiar.
Therefore, Li Yan couldn't find anyone else to get more information.
Li Yan sat on the edge of the bed, frowning in deep thought.
If his calculations were correct, the time when the inner demons were born was about one hundred and sixty years ago.
At that time, Cui Feng in the dream was already over 60 years old. Based on this calculation, wouldn't the other person be more than two hundred years old now?
This is difficult even for low-level immortal cultivators. It is possible for monks to swallow some life-prolonging fruit, but it is not the lifespan limit that Cui Feng, a mortal, can achieve.
Li Yan also used his spiritual consciousness to carefully explore Cui Feng's body. It was basically a mortal body with no spiritual power in the flesh and blood, but his qi and blood were unusually strong.
However, Li Yan's spiritual consciousness detected that although Cui Feng's qi and blood were strong, the vitality in his body was actually in his old age. If nothing unexpected happened, Cui Feng would still have six or seven years to live at most.
In order to determine these time points, Li Yan asked some indirect questions before.
The answer he got was that Cui Feng said that he disappeared sixty-two years ago. At this time, he was still struggling to find a way out in the underground caves of Qingqing Continent.
At that time, about a hundred years had passed since I entered the inner demon dreamland, and everything was incompatible.
This made Li Yan fall into deep confusion. He knew that there were three key points involved here.
The first is to go to Qingshan Pass to inquire about information and see if a marshal like Li Yan really existed.
"Go to Shanqing Pass to inquire about the news. I will definitely go there to see if, as Cui Feng said, there really is Li Yan. What was the situation of the war sixty-two years ago?
But we don’t want to set off immediately. There are still many questions about Cui Feng that need to be investigated. We will talk about this later."
Li Yan thought quickly in his mind.
"The second is Beiming Town Demon Tower. It is the place where my inner demon appeared. The inner demon...the inner demon. Senior Pingtu and Master both said that I have hidden unknown knots in my heart. Could it be related to this matter?
?
If this mystery is solved, I will have the opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul, but this matter will have to be placed after going to Qingshan Pass. After all, it is much closer to Qingshan Pass than the Demon Tower of Beiming Town.
.”
Li Yan kept thinking in his mind.
The third point is the underground secret cave of the "Soul Prison Clan" in Qingqing Continent. The time of the "Luo Xian Slope" battle that Cui Feng mentioned was exactly the time when he was trapped.
