Chapter 122: Do you call this mediocre martial arts?
"Li Jiyi, what do you mean?"
Ming Chongyan's face darkened.
Li Yan spread his hands: "Where's the fish charm? Prove it to me!"
Ming Chongyan shook his head: "The plum blossom internal guards have no official position and do not carry fish talismans. The plum blossom marks on our bodies are proof."
He pointed to his back: "My mark is on the back, so I won't show it to Li Jiyi. Rong Niang's mark is on the arm. You can lift her sleeves to see."
Li Yan had long wanted to complain: "What can a mark represent? If I go to the West Market to get a tattoo of a skilled oriole, will I become the plum blossom inner guard you mentioned?"
Ming Chongyan: "..."
What should I do? Suddenly I feel that what the other person said makes sense!
Ming Chongyan added: "You can ask Qiu Ying, the leader of the Neiwei Pavilion, he knows about our existence."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes: "Now? How do I know if you are delaying time on purpose?"
His eyes were alert and his body was on guard: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I searched for Taoist Master Ming for the elixir, but you said that you were a plum blossom inner guard, and I caught a former spy in the Dou Chamber of Commerce, and she was also a plum blossom inner guard.
, are there plum blossom guards all over Chang'an?"
Ming Chongyan: "..."
What should I do? I think what the other person said makes sense!
Since the prince recommended Wuyundan, he did not doubt Li Yan's purpose in finding him.
When I met Rong Niang, I could only say that this woman was so unlucky that she was always arrested.
When two people meet by chance, it is indeed very strange if you look at each other's perspective.
Li Yan continued: "Since you say that you are the plum blossom inner guard and the saint's confidant, then follow me into the palace and see the saint in front of you, and you will know the truth!"
"Li Jiyi is too suspicious and full of selfish thoughts. It seems that the poor man will only be offended!"
When Ming Chongyan thought of Li Yan escorting them to the saint for questioning, he suddenly became excited and could not argue again. He became angry with embarrassment and a stern look appeared in his eyes. He simply stretched out his hand and grabbed Rong Niang.
Of course he doesn't dare to hurt anyone, but with his martial arts, it's not difficult to escape with Rong Niang...
"Snapped!"
Li Yan casually waved his hand and slapped his palm away.
Ming Chongyan was stunned.
He stared blankly at his smooth palm, frowned, stopped talking, concentrated on it, and reached out for the second time.
"Snapped!"
Li Yan waved his hand again and slapped his paw away.
"you!"
Ming Chongyan was angry, his Taoist robe drummed, and he showed his true martial arts.
Dan Yuan Jin! Tiangang Qi!
Taoism combines the four righteous qi and refines it into Gang. The Gang qi is extremely hard and strong!
Tiangang Qi accumulation has the characteristic of accumulating the bow string to its full strength, accumulating the power to explode at one point!
"The secret of Dan Yuan Jin?"
Li Yan nodded slightly, continued to hold Rong Niang with his left hand, and slapped her with his right hand again.
Only this time, he also used his real skills.
Ming Chongyan narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt an irresistible force blowing over him like a long wind.
He didn't believe that the other party could have such power, so he pressed his slender fingers firmly.
"Bang!"
The two palms met, and they exchanged energy.
Ming Chongyan's body swayed, and he felt a terrifying force drive straight into his arm like a thorn, along the palm of his hand, all the way up.
Wherever he passed, his arms were sore and numb.
He groaned, trying his best to mobilize the energy in his body to resolve it, and then stared wide-eyed, hoping to see a more embarrassed opponent.
But I saw that Li Yan had a calm posture, and there seemed to be a kind of crystal brilliance between his brows. His whole person suddenly changed from peaceful and tranquil to sharp-edged and full of energy.
In such a state, not only did he bear the palm of Ming Chongyan Tiangang without any pressure, but he also immediately counterattacked, using his five fingers together with the sword to cut across, like a majestic river rolling in.
"Is your skill improving by leaps and bounds?"
Ming Chongyan gritted his teeth, forced his luck, and went forward.
"Bang! Bang! Bang -"
For a while, thunderous noises continued to sound. Ming Chongyan's body trembled with increasing amplitude, while Li Yan remained motionless with a dull expression.
"Well!"
Finally, Ming Chongyan retreated violently with a groan.
The two of them competed in the Duke of Zhou's mansion, going back and forth with each other for dozens of moves. It seemed like there was no winner, but in fact it was Li Yan who was at a disadvantage.
Ming Chongyan also knew that this man's martial arts tended to be military-style, and he would definitely suffer a loss in such a contest. Later, when he killed the Tathagata Buddha statue with his sword, he looked very domineering and arrogant.
But at this time, it was clearly a competition between the cultivation of the inner family. After just ten blows, Ming Chongyan felt that it was difficult to continue, his chest felt tight, and he was so sad that he wanted to vomit.
He knew that he had suffered internal injuries, and if he continued like this, he would have no choice but to use his trump card.
But just as he had evil thoughts, Li Yan's face straightened, and a terrifying aura was born.
Throughout the ages, there have been heroes and heroines who look around and are full of great ambition!
Ming Chongyan froze and said in a deep voice: "Is this how Li Jiyi entered the state after he killed Tathagata with his sword?"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes."
The physical constitution exceeded 20 points, which was really what happened after Sword Killing Tathagata.
Ming Chongyan misunderstood it and thought it was an epiphany at that moment. He was so jealous that he went crazy in his heart.
I'm going to cut off the heads of all the Buddha statues in the temples in the capital tomorrow. Is it possible for me to be completely transformed?
He also knew that this idea was ridiculous, but it was really hard to accept.
How could we have such a huge gap in just three months?
He couldn't help it anymore and gritted his teeth and said, "You said before that your martial arts skills were mediocre! Do you call this your martial arts skills are mediocre?"
Li Yan's expression was very sincere: "Compared with the strong men of the past, my current martial arts is indeed mediocre... Is Taoist Master Ming going to make a killing move? I will take it!"
Ming Chongyan's chest heaved, and all his murderous intentions suddenly disappeared, and he said, "It's just a poor Taoist who was impulsive. I hope Li Jiyi will show his respect!"
Is there internal strife between the Plum Blossom Internal Guard and the Internal Guard?
He really doesn't dare!
Even if you try your best to win the opponent, so what, you will definitely be severely punished.
Because Li Zhi was still very determined to be aggressive externally, he really wanted to rely on his help to restore the internal defense and regain the glory of the Tang Dynasty that once dominated the barbarians. He would never allow such civil strife.
Ming Chongyan gave up the idea of taking action, and his tone was pleading: "Li Jiyi, we are really plum blossom internal guards, it is not nonsense!"
Li Yan shook his head: "I can't confirm your identity. You follow me into the palace and tell the emperor and empress!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Rong Niang's face changed horribly, and she began to struggle.
Li Yan saw her and took off the cloth on her mouth: "What do you have to say?"
Rong Niang bowed down and said, "Please forgive Li Jiyi's life. If you take me into the palace, I may not be able to survive. I still have a young daughter who is lonely in the palace. I beg Jiyi to spare my life!"
Li Yan frowned, while Ming Chongyan's eyebrows showed sadness.
Of course he could understand Rong Niang's fear.
The identity of the plum blossom inner guard is very special. It can be seen in the light, but it can also be invisible.
It can be seen that just in front of the ministers, they can fight against others. With the majesty of the saint, the ministers will not dare to attack them unless they have the intention of rebellion.
Naturally, they are not visible because what they do is secret surveillance and sowing dissension. If they are exposed to the wrong people, they will definitely end up miserable.
For example, Mrs. Ye, who once lurked in the Duke Zhou's mansion, disappeared later. No one is found alive or dead. It seems that there is no such figure in the Plum Blossom Internal Guard.
Obviously she was disposed of by Empress Wu, and Li Zhi didn't want to see such a waste that leaked secrets.
Once the two saints reach a tacit agreement, they will be useless and no one will know about them even after they die.
Entering the palace at this time, in the eyes of the emperor and empress, they are basically useless.
Ming Chongyan knew he had to save himself, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Li Jiyi, aren't you investigating the case of Shizi's poisoning? We can provide information about the Dou Chamber of Commerce to help you solve the case!"
Rong Niang nodded quickly: "Ah, yes, yes!"
Look what the agents were forced to do...
Li Yan shook his head: "No, I can't turn a blind eye despite knowing that you have different identities just to solve the case. This is disloyal to the saint!"
Ming Chongyan really had this idea. Hearing what Li Yan said, his heart was completely cold.
This guy didn't even dare to climb over the wall just now. He is a really disciplined and cautious person. Coupled with his background, ability and martial arts skills, he has everything he needs. He is simply impeccable.
He could only discuss in a low voice, and his voice was really begging: "Li Jiyi, how about we share the information of the Dou Chamber of Commerce, cooperate to arrest the murderer, and then we will all have merit when we go to the palace to meet the saint?"
Li Yan frowned and still didn't let go.
Ming Chongyan felt tremendous pressure and quickly glanced at Rong Niang.
Tell me the information!
Rong Niang immediately said: "The four major chambers of commerce in Chang'an, Dou's, Li's, Xiao's, Xie's, and Dou's chamber of commerce were originally only slightly stronger than the other three, but since the release of Feiqian, they have gradually taken control of merchants in various places...
…”
Li Yan was shocked, with a slight doubt on his face: "Flying money?"
Rong Niang said: "It's just paper money. Since merchants go out to do business, it's inconvenient to bring a lot of copper coins. So the four major shops designed a kind of flying money that can be exchanged with coins and issued paper vouchers, which can be used to purchase goods."
"
Li Yan said: "That's it..."
There was indeed flying money in the Tang Dynasty, but it only appeared after the Anshi Rebellion.
At that time, the government took the lead and private capital poured in. Now it has become a small-scale spontaneous behavior among private shops.
This is not surprising. Many systems were gradually developed over a long period of time, such as the imperial examination. The examination model was already in the Han Dynasty's examination system, and then successive dynasties added bricks and mortar. It was not until the Sui Dynasty that it was fully brewed, and the Tang Dynasty officially began to take effect.
None of it is achieved overnight.
Rong Niang continued: "Many businessmen are optimistic about Feiqian, and the Hu merchant association in West City also wants to participate. However, the four major chambers of commerce have a arrogant attitude. Both parties have communicated many times and have rejected Hu merchants. These information are very hidden.
They are all communicated by senior officials of the chamber of commerce.”
Li Yan already understood.
Zhang Yang's money disappeared in this way.
Starting from this, another chain of clues targeting the Dou Chamber of Commerce was generated.
Plum Blossom Internal Guard is really useful.
Looking at the helpless expressions of the two people, Li Yan finally let go:
"I didn't expect to encounter such a difficult problem when searching for elixirs. I can't block your opportunity to prove yourself, so just keep talking, I'll listen!"
The two of them felt as if they had been granted amnesty and said happily: "Thank you very much, Li Jiyi!"
