Outside the city gate, Li Zhengkun, wearing thick brocade clothes, looked at the carriage eagerly.
The carriage stopped, and the driver was a young man. He grinned at Li Zhengkun.
"Brother!"
The young man opened the car curtain, and Li Xun walked out of the car tremblingly.
"Grandson pays homage to grandpa!"
Li Zhengkun bowed quickly.
Li Xun looked at the majestic Li Zhengkun, with a kind smile on his wrinkled face.
"I heard that you were taken care of by that boy from Prince Xin'an!"
Li Zhengkun was extremely embarrassed.
"My grandson has embarrassed his grandfather."
In fact, it can't be called cleaning up. At most, Qin Wei scolded him for his incompetence.
But this sentence of incompetence reached Li Xun's ears, which made him, a grandson, a little embarrassed.
Li Xun smiled and said, "You can't embarrass me yet."
Who is he? He doesn't need Li Zhengkun to protect his face, and Li Zhengkun won't affect him at all.
To put it bluntly, even though Li Zhengkun was the commander-in-chief of Tianzhou, he still couldn't stand up to Li Xun.
"The Prince of Xin'an County is very cunning. Your abilities are really not enough in front of him."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhengkun felt even more embarrassed.
He is over forty this year, more than twenty years older than Qin Wei. But Li Xun said that he was not enough in front of Qin Wei.
This is simply humiliating.
If these words were spoken by anyone else, he would definitely get angry and maybe even take action.
But coming from Li Xun's words, even if he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to show it at all.
Li Xun didn't care what Li Zhengkun was thinking, he looked up at the majestic Tianzhou City Gate.
"Is Ye Gucheng in the city?"
"Here, he has been in the city these past few days." Li Zhengkun said quickly.
"Well! Take me to meet him." Li Xun said.
"Grandpa, let's go there by car, it's cold today!" Li Zhengkun said.
Li Xun nodded, "As people get older, their bones become weaker and weaker, and this small gust of wind becomes a bit unbearable."
Old age and frailty are a warrior's biggest enemy. Even if you are an innate warrior, your body will become weak after you grow old.
However, a weak body does not mean a weak strength. After all, for an innate warrior, artistic conception is the most important part of strength.
…
In front of Wanfu Temple.
Qin Wei still stood far away.
The battle inside Wanfu Temple is coming to an end.
From the beginning of the battle, the outcome of this battle has been determined.
Although the strength of Wanfu Temple is not weak, compared with the seven major sects joining forces, it is not even the slightest bit worse.
Perhaps in terms of numbers, Manpukuji Temple has an advantage, but in terms of force, Manpukuji Temple is at an absolute disadvantage.
The seven major sects have jointly mobilized more than three thousand disciples, and the disciples who can participate in the battle are all elite disciples of the seven major sects.
There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, so the destruction of Manpukuji Temple has long been doomed.
"Your Highness, Master Kumu is dead!" Yuwen Chengdu came to Qin Wei and reported.
Qin Wei hid his hands in cotton cloth and asked calmly: "How did you die?"
"He was killed by the Heavenly Master's palm!" Yuwen Chengdu said.
Qin Wei narrowed his eyes. In fact, he had never thought about killing Master Kumu because he knew that Master Kumu had left Wanfu Temple for decades.
Although there is still a deep affection between the two, Master Kumu has actually left Manpukuji Temple long ago.
Manfuji Temple is Manfuji Temple, and Master Kumu is Master Kumu.
As long as Manpukuji Temple is destroyed, it doesn't matter whether Master Kumu is alive or dead.
Of course, it is a good thing that Master Kumu is dead, so as not to worry about Master Kumu seeking revenge on him.
"Where is the Heavenly Master?"
"The old Heavenly Master left with Master Kumu's body!" Yuwen Chengdu said.
Qin Wei raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I'm afraid this old man is resenting me."
"Forget it, just complain!"
If an old friend dies, or he dies under his own hands, it is natural for Heavenly Master to feel guilty and resentful.
After all, this matter was initiated by him and Zhenwu Si.
But then again, Wanfu Temple can be regarded as doing many evil things, and Zhenwusi's destruction of Wanfu Temple can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
It’s just that Master Kumu is innocent.
Right and wrong, right and wrong, how can it be clear?
As for whether the Heavenly Master would hate him because of this, Qin Wei didn't think so.
Master Tian is a sensible person. He may be resentful for a moment, but he will never lose sight of the seriousness.
"It's almost time, we should go back!"
Qin Wei turned around and walked slowly down the mountain.
Wanfu Temple was destroyed, and the seven major sects became friends. This plan of killing with a borrowed knife was a perfect ending.
The martial arts forces in Tianzhou will enter a new chapter starting from today.
From now on, Zhenwu Si will be the leader of Tianzhou Martial Arts.
…
Inside Tianzhou City.
Ke Lai Xuan.
Ye Gucheng was sitting in the room, with good wine and food on the table.
Situ Qianfeng and Yan Bo were also sitting nearby, eating good wine and delicious food.
Nowadays, Ye Gucheng is not short of money. He took hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Qin Wei, and he can eat in restaurants all over the world for decades.
This time he did not follow Qin Wei to Wanfu Temple. Firstly, it was because he should not get too close to Qin Wei. After all, Qin Wei did not want to have a substantial relationship with him. Secondly, he planned to leave Tianzhou.
Now he is quite famous in Tianzhou, and the warriors in Tianzhou all recognize his strength, but before he can become the Dali Swordsman, he still needs more reputation.
Next, he plans to walk around and wait until March to go to Beiyuan City to have a battle with Situ Changkong. When he defeats Situ Changkong, the title of the Great Li Sword Saint should fall on his head.
.
While the three of them were eating, the waiter knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Ye Gucheng said lightly while eating.
"Sir, there is an old man below who wants to see you!" the waiter said.
Ye Gucheng raised his head and asked, "Do you know who he is?"
"He said he was from Kyoto," the waiter said.
Ye Gucheng frowned slightly.
From Kyoto!
Except for Qin Wei, he has no involvement in Kyoto.
When he first left Kyoto, he barely met anyone.
As for whether it is Qin Wei.
That's certainly not the case.
If Qin Wei came or sent someone here, he wouldn't say he came from Kyoto.
"Let him come over!" Ye Gucheng thought for a while and said.
After a while, the waiter brought three people to the room, it was Li Xun and three others.
Seeing Li Xun, Ye Gucheng was slightly surprised.
Naturally, he didn't know Li Xun, but he could sense that the old man in front of him had unfathomable strength.
Next to him, Uncle Yan suddenly stood up.
"Situ Yan pays homage to the general!"
He bowed his hands and bowed.
Li Xun looked at Situ Yan and smiled kindly: "You are the little guy next to Changkong!"
"Haha, I haven't seen you for decades, and you are already old!"
Situ Yan said: "I didn't expect to see the general again even though I am humble!"
Li Xun nodded slightly and turned to Ye Gucheng.
"You don't mind if I come uninvited!"
"Please sit down!" Ye Gucheng said.
Situ Yan quickly brought a chair to Li Xun, and Li Xun sat down.
"We haven't seen each other for more than fifty years!"
"Well, the last time we met, the general was still in the north." Situ Yan said.
"Yes, it's been fifty years in the blink of an eye. That old guy Boshan has been dead for more than twenty years, and Changkong has become the lord of Beiyuan City." Li Xun said with some nostalgia.
More than fifty years ago, Li Xun was still serving in the Qinzhou border army. At that time, he had just become an innate warrior and was the commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of border troops.
Beiyuan City, as a major support to the north of Dali, often joins forces with the border troops to face the enemy.
Therefore, Li Xun and Beiyuan City should be familiar with each other.
Situ Changkong stayed under his command for several years. At that time, Situ Yan was Situ Changkong's most capable subordinate, so Situ Yan would claim his humble position in front of Li Xun.
Situ Boshan was the previous generation's lord of Beiyuan City.
"How has Chang Kong been doing these past few years?"
"The city lord has been in retreat recently." Situ Yan said.
"His talent is pretty good, maybe he can surpass me." Li Xun said.
Li Xun looked at Ye Gucheng, "You probably don't know me!"
"I know, Dali's number one war god Li Xun!" Ye Gucheng said.
"Haha~~" Li Xun laughed, "The words of the First God of War are a bit ridiculous, I can't bear it."
More than fifty years ago, he was known as the First God of War in Dali in the north. This did not refer to his strength, but to his ability to lead troops in battle.
"You are quite capable. Are you interested in joining Qing Fushan?" Li Xun asked.
Ye Gucheng said: "Okay!"
"Yeah! Are you so willing to agree?" Li Xun was slightly surprised.
Ye Gucheng said: "I want to become the Dali Sword Master!"
Li Xun was slightly stunned, but then he laughed.
"Interesting, interesting, I haven't seen such an interesting person like you for a long time."
His misty eyes looked at Ye Gucheng, looking at that cold and arrogant face.
"If I were twenty years younger, I would fight you properly."
Ye Gucheng looked at him with shining eyes, "You can do it now."
Li Xun waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you should spare me, an old man."
"I can't let go of this tone easily!"
His tone was a little bleak, his hair was gray, and his skin was covered with age spots.
Ye Gucheng looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.
"Then I'd better challenge Situ Changkong!"
"That's right, you should go find him." Li Xun stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Wait until I defeat him, then go to Qingfu Mountain." Ye Gucheng said again.
Li Xun burst into laughter upon hearing this, almost overflowing with joy.
He looked at Ye Gucheng with a gentle expression.
"You are very good, better than I expected."
"Aren't you afraid that I have ill intentions towards Dali?" Ye Gucheng said.
Li Xun shook his head slightly, "You won't, because I can see your persistence in the way of swordsmanship."
Ye Gucheng smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
Li Xun seems to have misunderstood this point.
His dedication to the art of swordsmanship is unquestionable.
But he will still engage in some battles and challenges outside of kendo to verify and pursue greater perfection, even if such challenges are full of risks of destruction.
The flying fairy outside the sky is a perfection that he cannot break through.
He will use any means to break through this perfection.
Like a seemingly impossible challenge.
This is Ye Gucheng's persistence in kendo, which can also be described as paranoid.
Li Xun stood up, holding on to the table tremblingly, with his white hair hanging down, looking at Ye Gucheng, who was dressed in flawless white clothes.
"I'm waiting for you at Qingfu Mountain!"
There was a bit of hope in his eyes.
"Okay!" Ye Gucheng said.
Li Xun seemed very happy, somewhat unexpectedly happy.
"It's almost time, it's time for me to go back!"
"I'll see you off!" Ye Gucheng stood up.
"No need, we will have a good chat when you arrive at Qingfu Mountain!"
Li Xun waved his hand and left without looking back.
Ye Gucheng didn't move, but Situ Yan and Situ Qianfeng sent him out of the inn.
After leaving the inn, Li Xun suddenly stopped.
He looked at Ye Gucheng standing in front of the second floor window.
Suddenly he flicked his wide sleeves and folded his hands in front of him, and an oppressive power surged out of his trembling body.
"Farewell!"
Ye Gucheng was stunned for a moment, feeling the majestic power, his expression moved slightly.
They also fold their hands and make a long bow.
The sharp-edged sword soared into the sky, and the surrounding world shook violently.
"Elder, walk slowly!"
Powers collide and invisible pressure spreads.
Inside and outside Ke Lai Xuan, Situ Yan, Li Zhengkun and others' faces suddenly turned red, and the terrifying pressure made their bodies shorter, as if they were suppressed by tens of thousands of kilograms of power.
They were shocked and horrified.
He looked at Ye Gucheng with disbelief.
No matter how strong Li Xun was, they would not be surprised, but Ye Gucheng's strength was also so strong that they were awed and amazed.
The next moment.
Li Xun turned around and boarded the carriage.
This power is both a test and a recognition.
Test Ye Gucheng's depth and recognize Ye Gucheng's strength.
Li Xun regarded Ye Gucheng as a being of the same level.
