Jinyang is an ancient city that has existed for thousands of years.

It is also the city that Mobei Royal Court cares about most along the way south.

Hebei Road looks like a water ladle on the imperial territory map, and the water ladle's gourd is in the interior of the empire. Jinyang is located in the center of the gourd, and Yuguan is the only border in the north of the empire, with mountains and mountains on both sides.

Xiongguan.

To the north of the empire's territory, there are endless mountains that form a natural pass, making it impossible for the Mobei Royal Court cavalry to go south safely. They can only find a way to break through the continuous desert outside Yuguan, otherwise they must climb over the insurmountable mountains.

As for the front line of the Western Frontier, it is adjacent to the Western countries, and there are mountains that connect the northwest frontier. There is also a mountain peak that blocks the Empire's Jiannan Road, thus hindering the invasion of the Western countries.

That battle more than ten years ago.

If the Western countries wanted to advance eastward, other than bypassing the insurmountable mountain, they could only go south, which would lead to a loss of troops. With the combined efforts of the three armies of the empire, they attacked and destroyed the defeated Western countries and the combined armies of the two southern countries, and calmed down the war.

fighting.

There is also the Mobei Royal Court in the north, which is unable to go south due to the obstruction of Yuguan.

That was more than ten years ago. Some people rumored that during the battle outside Yuguan in the north, wind and sand filled the sky, red light swayed back and forth in the sky, and the terrifying and heart-pounding fluctuations affected countless soldiers at that time.

It was the figure of the cultivator who appeared outside Yuguan.

Therefore, the Mobei Royal Court could not go south.

Some people hold a positive attitude toward these legends, while others hold a negative attitude.

...

Li Liqing said solemnly: "It's time. You should leave and go to the imperial capital to practice."

"If you haven't finished what you are doing now, don't do it anymore. Nothing is more important than practice. Only after practice can you have the opportunity to touch the untouchable secrets and understand what you want to know."

Lin Yi was very puzzled by the change in Li Liqing's tone. He frowned and said nothing, quietly looking at the courtyard door outside. The courtyard wall was a little startled and swayed. When he raised his head and cast his sight along the high courtyard wall, he was suddenly startled.

Too scared to speak.

It was a terrible sight!

There is dark yellow sand sweeping across the sky.

Lin Yi couldn't see very clearly, but he could see a little bit.

Li Liqing watched carefully, but did not speak. Such a situation occurs once every ten years in Mobei. Ten years have passed since the last time such a situation occurred. The situation in Mobei is not optimistic.

, Hebei Province and Jinyang will probably be uneasy in the future. Only by leaving the military status as soon as possible and joining the ranks of practitioners can we be safe and sound.

"No need to read any further, don't you already know the situation in Mobei?"

On the night after leaving Yuguan, in that small village, the sergeants in the Mobei Royal Court's stronghold outside Yuguan fled to the border of Hebei Province. When Lin Yi killed them, those sergeants told him that Mobei had

Windy sand.

But he didn't expect that this kind of windy sand coming from the depths of Mobei would move so fast.

He hesitated, for the first time.

Silently thinking about whether to leave immediately or finish the rest of the things before leaving.

Li Liqing saw his hesitation and said again: "The world in Jinyang is really too small. If you want to know more secrets, you have to leave here. Don't you want to know what the battle in Xijiang was like?

?”

"As long as you practice to a sufficient level, even if you don't want to know, you will definitely know..."

"This is the role of practice!"

The strong should have the burden and the right to know everything.

Lin Yi was very calm. He raised his head, his eyes fell on Li Liqing, staring at the haggard old man in front of him, and asked: "What is your relationship with him? Why do you want to help me? I want to kill Yang Jixin. You also know that I want to kill him."

You also know the top officials of the empire. You are the god of war, you are a powerful figure in the empire, and you are also the emperor’s most loyal supporter, so why don’t you protect the officials of the empire?”

"You know Yang Jixin doesn't have to die, but you still allow me to kill him."

This question was both expected and unexpected by Li Liqing. After a while of silence, Li Liqing showed no tangled expression on his face. He just remained silent and could not see any emotional fluctuations.

"You will know later, so there is no need to tell you." Li Liqing was unwilling to say it after all, and after that he warned: "If you go to the imperial capital, don't reveal any relationship with him until you are not strong enough.

Otherwise, you will face many enemies that you shouldn’t face. Even if they can’t cause substantial harm to you, they will always feel bored if you have too many lice on your body..."

Lin Yi listened carefully to these words.

Li Liqing left the courtyard and left behind a talisman with a big totem on it.

He couldn't understand the meaning of this totem. Anyway, this talisman did not appear in his memory. He put it in his pocket and took out the two letters Li Liqing gave him and read it.

The content of the first letter was very simple. It was a letter of recommendation for admission to the two university palaces in the imperial capital.

The second letter was something he couldn't understand. There were only two simple words in it - Taoyuan!

What is Taoyuan?

What did it mean before?

It still means being in this world.

Li Liqing didn't leave any words, he just asked him to keep it well and take it out at the right time to solve any dilemma. When facing danger of life and death, he can also take it out and all dangers will be eliminated.

...

There was silence for a long time.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yi decided to go to the imperial capital.

He was unable to do anything else in Jinyang. Li Liqing was right. The Wang family had been entrenched in Hebei Province for many years and was a cancer that even the empire could not eradicate. And he was so weak, yet he wanted to deal with some members of the Wang family alone.

Humans simply can't do it. What's more, he still doesn't know who in the Wang family was involved in that incident, and they need to carefully identify them.

Before Mrs. Yang Jixin committed suicide, she said that I had lied to you.

It is self-evident who ordered it.

That's why he chose to attack the Wang family and monitor the Wang family. Two hours ago, Lin Yi went to the manor. There was nothing strange from the outside, but he could already detect the vague aura of a practitioner.

The powerful aura was not something he could face.

It was this breath that made him make up his mind.

Carrying the luggage and holding the sword, he left Jinyang.

Perhaps the best protection for Hu Chang was to leave quietly without notifying Hu Chang.

...

Jinyang City is very big.

There are four urban districts respectively.

Beicheng District is the center of Jinyang, while Nancheng District is the residence of many ordinary people.

Outside a certain house, someone was hiding in a secret corner, holding the handle of a knife and trying to draw it out.

The young man who stretched out his head looked at the house with a frosty face and said in a cold voice: "I found out clearly. The person who recently investigated Yang Jixin lives in this house?"

"This man's name is Hu Chang. He was a close friend of the former Northern Army Marshal. He returned to his hometown during the First World War. He and Yang Jixin are old acquaintances. According to the information we found, it was Yang Jixin who was responsible for wiping out the remnants a few years ago.

Get rid of him."

Hearing the former marshal of the Northern Army, the young man's handsome and cold face trembled slightly, with a chill in his eyebrows.

"So, no matter what, he must die..."

It turned out to be a fish that slipped through the net. The young man licked his tongue, revealing the taste of cruelty. Seeing this move, the masked man in black beside the young man could not help but feel a slight chill in his body. Thinking of the cruelty of the master in front of him, he suddenly felt sick.

.

"When someone writes a letter to the head of the family, it must be safe. Hu Chang should be the last one."

The young man nodded and waved his hand: "In that case, Yang Jixin's matter will be completely cut off in my hands..."

Dozens of men in black rushed into the house in one fell swoop, with the young man slowly walking forward and following behind.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the young man walked in front, holding a smooth sword and wiping the silver-white sword body with a white silk cloth. The white silk cloth had a strong smell of blood. The sword body was smooth and clean. The silk cloth was thrown on the ground.

There is a deep red mark on the silk cloth.
