With the death of Marquis Li Guang, all the ministers below were filled with grief. This heroic ruler who had been in power for two hundred years finally ended his life, but on his deathbed, he left behind a fragmented Hou Chao and left with regret.
Wang Gang and others did not leave. They stayed in Guangyuan City for several days at the invitation of Li Ziguang and the important ministers of the Hou Dynasty. They left after the funeral of Li Guanghou.
A few days later, Li Guanghou's funeral was grand and magnificent.
Because Li Ziguang wanted to stay away from Li Guanghou for a month and stayed in the rear hall of Hou City, he asked Li Mu and others to negotiate with Wang Gang and Song's group on his behalf.
According to the wishes of the new Li Hou Li Ziguang, he wants to sign a ten-year agreement with Wang Gang and other people who have left the Hou Dynasty. During this ten years, the two sides will not interfere with each other and stop provoking sword fights.
Wang Gang and others discussed for half a day, and he and Song Zhi personally discussed with Old Man Gui for advice. In the end, everyone thought that the temporary peace and stability would be beneficial to both parties.
On the second day, everyone headed by Wang Gang and Li Mu and others made an oath outside the city.
Li Ziguang also invited many envoys from other court forces to participate in this alliance, including envoy representatives from the Luyang Hou Dynasty, Li Guanghou's mortal enemy during his lifetime.
Most of Li Guanghou's old ministers during his lifetime despised Xinhou's behavior, but some people in high positions, such as Xiong Bo and Li Long, praised and approved of Li Ziguang.
When Wang Gang saw that among the envoys there was someone from the Hou Dynasty of Luyang, he was also condensed and sighed secretly.
"This Li Ziguang is so tolerant. Did he predict that the Hou Dynasty would be powerful in ten years and then destroy us? But my son Dalu is even more extraordinary. How far has he grown in ten years?"
My father's can't be guessed either."
After the covenant was completed, Wang Gang, Song Zhi, Old Turtle and a group of more than 20 people left thirty miles outside Guangyuan City and returned to their territories to wait for news about Wang Gang.
These former great figures of the imperial dynasty have now left the imperial court and become wealthy and refined scholars, but Wang Gang promised them that they would be allowed to re-enter the new imperial court within half a year, and they would still enjoy the cultivation conveniences brought by their positions with titles and titles.
How could this not make everyone excited, because from the mouth of the elder from the Yuyi Sect, they learned that Wang Gang's upcoming new court would be far superior to the Li Guanghou dynasty they served before, and they were also regarded as ministers of the dragon, and their official titles would be even higher.
Far more than before.
Inside the Anhe Hall of Hou Cheng.
The lights in the temple are bright and there are many curtains.
In the innermost place, Li Ziguang is dressed in black mysterious clothes with various strange and mysterious beasts embroidered on his neck. He knows that the clothes are dignified and he attracts attention.
Behind Li Ziguang stood two old men, namely Li Mu and Count Xiong Bo.
Li Ziguang did not look back at the two of them, but stood in front of the portrait of the late Marquis Li Guang and spoke slowly.
"Now that this matter has come to an end, you should not have any grudges with them. During this period, you can recommend some monks who are worthy of training and can be used by my lord to serve as officials in the dynasty to fill the vacant ranks."
Count Xiong Bo said to Li Ziguang before leaving.
"Liu Jin is really useless. He can't even deal with a child with a yellow mouth. Instead, he has damaged Lu Wanshan, an old servant next to Li Hou. I would like to ask Li Hou to issue an order to deprive him of the title of viscount."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Li Ziguang turned around and looked at the rosy-faced old man from two dynasties in front of him, and thought for a moment before saying.
"Liu Jin's crime of dereliction of duty should be punished. He is ordered to practice in seclusion in the mansion. When he reaches a higher level of cultivation, he will be allowed to come out to serve as a director."
Seeing that Xiong Bo was a little angry and wanted to continue speaking, Li Ziguang stopped with a smile.
"Well, my old earl, it is the time when the dynasty is in a state of affairs and it is time to hire people. I remember that your son-in-law, Viscount Ning Que, has always been prudent in his affairs, so he will be in charge of the land under Liu Jin's jurisdiction for the time being. You see?
how?"
Xiong Bo's deep eyes moved slightly, he took a deep look at the extremely young Xinhou in front of him, and said goodbye.
Li Ziguang watched Xiong Bo leave and swore to the portrait of his late father Li Guang.
"Father, I will definitely work hard to restore the glory of the Hou Dynasty. Wang Gang, Song Zhi, just wait."
In Baron Wu Yong's camp, which is a hundred miles away from Wolong City, Wu Yong asked his subordinates to secretly send gifts and letters to Wolong City in the hope of easing the relationship with Wang Gang before withdrawing his troops.
Du Zhi, the young general beside Viscount Liu Jin, had been quietly watching Wu Yong's every move during this period, fearing that he would betray Liu Jin and murder Liu Jin.
That day, he saw Wu Yong whispering a few words to his confidant. The confidant hurriedly left and returned to his tent. At that time, when the dark clouds covered the moon and it was quiet, he and the guard guard showed Wu Yong's order.
The cards are out of the gate.
Although Du Zhiren is young, he has good Taoist cultivation. He has entered the realm of embryonic construction. His ears and eyesight are far better than many martial arts practitioners. He has been staring at Wu Yong's subordinate for several hours, and now he sees that he has finally taken action.
Very excited, he sneaked out of the camp gate.
Du Zhi followed him unhurriedly to the wilderness more than ten miles away from the camp gate. He saw Wu Yong's subordinate in front of him had killed a person here. He was looking for something on him and left after a while.
When he saw someone leaving, he hurriedly came to the dead man lying on the ground by the roadside. He looked around and found nothing unusual. He was just about to chase the man, but unexpectedly something happened, and the dead man beneath him suddenly came to life.
Unexpectedly, a red light shot towards him, and when he looked carefully, he saw a small sword that was an inch long stuck in his chest. The blade of the sword was completely engulfed in his body, leaving only the bloody hilt, which was faintly swallowed.
of one's own flesh and blood.
Not long after, there was another sound of bones breaking from behind Du Zhi's body. Being attacked from both sides, he did not understand why two monks were trying so hard to harm him before he died.
Seeing that Du Zhi was too dead to die, Wu Yong's subordinate who had just left appeared again and flattered the two monks standing in front of Du Zhi's body.
"The two masters are profound in Taoism and have lived up to your trust. It is a joy and congratulation for killing this little guy Du Zhi."
These two monks are secretly bribed subordinates of Baron Wu Yong and others. They usually hide in secret and deal with some enemies who hinder him.
Above the North District, Wang Dalu is still cultivating in the back mountain. Listening to Nie Zi telling Li Shishi, Li Jinbao and others can't tell how many days it will take for Wang Dalu to break through the last of the eight meridians, the Governor Vein, and then hopefully attack the Zi Mansion and become a womb-building monk.
, and since then he has embarked on the path of cultivation and become a true Taoist monk.
"Master, please bow to me as a disciple!"
Xiang Guang knelt on the ground facing the one-armed old man Nie Zi who was sitting directly in front of him, banging his head.
Nie Zi saw that Xiang Guang had kowtowed nine times, and a kind smile appeared on his skinny old face.
"That's enough, that's enough. From today on, you are the apprentice of this old man like me."
Xiang Guang stood up and bowed beside Nie Zi to listen to his teachings.
Nie Zi was very satisfied with Xiang Guang, his disciple. Not to mention that Xiang Guang, like himself, had a broken arm and was an upright and loyal man. Even if he was asked by his young master Wang Dalu, he could not refuse.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to save his life back then, his father, Baron Wang Gang, would have been buried in the valley floor and bitten by the wild beast, and there would be no way for him to be avenged.
Now that his great revenge has been avenged, and he has learned about his third sister, Nie Zi just wants to pursue his third sister whom he has not seen for more than sixty years, but his young master is afraid that he will attack the Zi Mansion in a few days.
You also need to watch over yourself so that you don't make any mistakes.
Nie Zi said to his apprentice Xiang Guang.
"My teacher suffered an injury from a traitor and lost an arm. It was difficult to use the vitality in the body at first. But after a period of practice, I gradually found a set of Qimen techniques for making luck. It is no different than when I was healthy."
When Xiang Guang said this, he was inexplicably excited. He knelt down and kowtowed, begging him to teach him. Nie Zi laughed and said.
"Don't be impatient, idiot. I will teach you the basic techniques first. When the young master advances to the embryonic realm, we, the master and the disciple, will go out and travel around to find my old friend."
