Under the setting sun at dusk, Yang Yu felt a little dazed.
Maybe it was the undispelled alcohol taking effect, or maybe he was really touched, and his heart was faintly throbbing.
The child mistakenly thought that he was interested in his own wooden horse. After hesitating for a long time, he scratched his head and handed it to him:
"Sir, if you really like it, I'll let you play for a while..."
Looking at the wooden horse handed to him, Yang Yu came to his senses and did not reject the child's kindness. He took the wooden horse and sat down against the big banyan tree:
"Don't you cherish this wooden horse very much?"
"He was the one who broke the legs of my wooden horse last time. I hate him and won't let him play with it... Sir, can you let me touch your knife?"
Seeing that Yang Yu accepted the wooden horse, the child asked tentatively. After receiving permission, he reached out and touched:
“It’s so cold!”
The child exclaimed in surprise, but did not shrink his hand. He reluctantly touched it again and again, and then said:
"My father also has a very powerful knife, but he never lets me touch it..."
"It's not good for children to play with knives."
Yang Yu touched his little head. Children who were five or six years old were probably little devils in their previous lives, but this child was very sensible.
"I'm not a three or four-year-old kid."
The child threw away the hand on his head angrily, and felt a little sad: "If I had a knife, I could protect my mother..."
"Protecting mother? Where is your father?"
The child's eyes were red: "He is dead. I heard someone said that his head was chopped off and hung in front of the city gate..."
"His father is Long Yuanwei, the correctional officer of the Fire Barracks, Fang Kewu. On the day Zhang Lingfeng seized power, his head was beheaded and hung in front of the city gate. Last night, the body was just sewn up..."
As the tall figure approached, Nanshan Ba sighed, leaned over and picked up the child:
"Don't cry, Xiaolong. Uncle is back. No one will dare to bully you in the future."
"uncle……"
The child's eyes were filled with tears, and then he burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Soothing the child with a soft voice, the big and thick man was a little in a hurry. It was Yang Yu who casually cut off a dead branch from the big banyan tree and carved it into a wooden knife to calm the child.
It was not until a long time later that a delicate woman came and left with her child in her arms that he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Unexpectedly, Commander Nanshan also has a tough and tender side."
Yang Yu exhaled a breath and cleared away the alcohol in his body.
"If my soldier dies, who else will care except me?"
Nanshan Ba laughed at himself:
"In addition to looking at the cold numbers and saying that they have to spend money on pensions, how could those big shots think that they also have parents and children to support?"
Hearing the indignation in Nanshan Ba's words, Yang Yu was silent for a moment and then said:
"Brother Nanshan, you talk a little too much."
"Yeah, I talk a lot."
Nanshan Ba sighed, gathered his thoughts, and said:
"The princess summoned all the meritorious ministers in the palace tonight, and specially ordered me to invite you to a banquet. The banquet will be attended by all the gentry and wealthy families in the city..."
"Are the two generals Lin and Wei here?"
Yang Yu asked.
"They are all invited. However, General Lin is too seriously injured and I am afraid he will not be able to attend the banquet. General Wei has the same reason..."
Nanshan Ba replied.
In last night's battle, Lin Qitian fought with injuries, and his injuries were more serious, but Wei Zhengxian...
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Yang Yu shook his head:
"Brother Nanshan returns to the princess on my behalf. Yang has suffered repeated injuries and needs to rest for a few days. I will go to see her later. I will not go to today's banquet."
He could also guess what Princess Longyuan wanted to do. It was nothing more than to stabilize her position and reduce the momentum caused by her seizure of power.
Or there are compliments, wooing, beatings, etc.
Neither Lin Qitian nor Wei Zhengxian were willing to go, so naturally he was even less happy.
In the final analysis, he came here to repay his kindness, and this was completely cleared after Zhang Lingfeng was killed.
Repeated injuries...
Glancing at the wine jars on the street that had not yet been cleared, Nanshan Ba's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't complain. He responded and turned around to leave.
"Power."
Looking at Nanshan Ba's leaving figure, Yang Prison shook his head heartily.
When one is in the Jianghu, one cannot help oneself, and the same is true when one is in the imperial court.
Not to mention the Grandmaster, even a great Grandmaster or even a Martial Saint, how can he be independent from the world?
Just like Wei Zhengxian was burdened by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Qingzhou Army and suppressed himself for many years and was trapped in Tianlang Pass, the same is true for Nanshan Ba.
It's just that the situation forced me to do it willingly even if I didn't see it.
A master like Nanshan Ba who is close to the Grand Master level and a veteran in the army will express his dissatisfaction in front of him. What this means is obvious.
And before and after Zhang Lingfeng seized power, it was not just the thousands of Long Yuan Guards who were injured?
These will eventually be counted on the Zhang family of Longyuan Palace...
"After this battle, King Long Yuan's reputation in Long Yuan Dao has almost been knocked off the altar. Wang Muzhi is very calculating..."
Yang Prison murmured in his heart.
Putting the broken wooden horse into his arms, Yang Yu stood up and left. At this time, the sky was getting dark, but the streets and alleys were still brightly lit.
The curfew that had been in place for many days was abolished, and Longyuan City was particularly lively today. Some people even set off firecrackers and beat gongs and drums on their own initiative.
Yang Yu walked around leisurely, refusing to refuse anyone who came across food. The prosperity of Longyuan Daocheng was comparable to that of Qingzhou, and there were also many kinds of antiquities.
However, for him, these ingredients can only be used as a recipe to light up the nine cows and two tigers.
Taking advantage of the excitement, Yang Prison poured out some money, but only a very small part was used to buy medicinal materials. The vast majority was used to buy black iron and some precious gold and iron.
After the blood transfusion was completed, the effect of the medicinal bath on him was greatly reduced, but he had no elixir at this time, so he could only use this to supplement his body.
At least, it's better than nothing.
After all, no matter how good a warrior's stomach is, he will still have diarrhea if he eats too much...
"The ritual of suppressing the evil seal is to stir up turmoil and fear, and then to eliminate and pacify it. At this moment, I have completed half of it. I only need to wait for Long Yuan to pacify and it will be completed."
Glancing at the progress bar in the Cauldron of Gluttony, Yang Prison thought in his mind.
The Four Steps of Dao and Fruit are called by many people the Four Steps to Immortality. There is a saying that after completing the four steps, you will become a god immediately. Naturally, he was very interested in it.
What's more, the ritual of suppressing the evil seal has always been his most taboo. Now that it is expected to be completed, he naturally cannot give up halfway.
However, Zhang Lingfeng is dead and Wang Muzhi has stopped. Who else is participating in this turmoil?
call!
Yang Yu stopped, and in front of him was a secluded alley in the north of the city, with only one or two lights, in the brightly lit Longyuan City tonight.
appear special.
…
There was silence in the quiet courtyard. Listening to the faint noise in the city, the three girls of Yu Lingxian were all silent.
Confused...
Looking at each other, the three contemporary saints of Lian Sheng Cult all saw the confusion on each other's faces.
After a long time, it was Lin Surong who spoke:
"Longyuan City is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. All forces are under strict surveillance. Dozens of eagles were shot and killed early this morning. I'm afraid there will be more tonight. Longyuan Guards are blocking the news..."
"Um."
Lin Wenjun reluctantly responded, while Yu Lingxian's mind was heavy and she didn't say a word.
"Fortunately, we saw that the situation was not good and withdrew most of our troops, but the rest are afraid that they will not be spared..."
Lin Surong looked dull.
She was a little confused.
For this operation in Longyuan Daocheng, they mobilized experts from dozens of branches in the three states and traveled for more than half a year.
The results of it?
Half of them were strangled without doing anything, and the remaining half were still being chased by Long Yuan Guards.
Yu Fangzhou personally took action, and it was unknown how many of them would survive.
Even, the three of them...
"It's no wonder that we have, this time Long Yuan Dao, including Zhang Lingfeng, has five great masters, and including Yang Yu, there are six!
Among us, Junior Sister Yu is the only one who can be considered a quasi-grandmaster. Even if we have the intention to do things, we cannot do things according to our abilities. Not to mention, the instructions in the teaching are vague and unclear, and we have no idea where our enemies and friends are."
Lin Wenjun also looked very unhappy.
She didn't want to come to Longyuan Daocheng to stir up trouble. Not to mention that the experts here were too dangerous. More importantly, the two monks from Lanke Temple she was eyeing almost escaped...
"The sect is afraid that it will be too busy. In the past few years, whenever there have been rebellions in various parts of the world, they have all used the name of our sect. As a result, the nine great elders and the chief rudders of the Seven Paths have all been stared at by the Jin Yiwei and the hawks and dogs from the East and West factories.
…”
Lin Surong sighed helplessly.
A big tree attracts the wind, this saying is very appropriate for them.
In this world, whenever there is turmoil or disaster, dirty water will be thrown at them. Of course, there is truth and falsehood among them.
But the result is that there has been huge friction between the two major forces in a place where they cannot come into contact.
And they are at a disadvantage.
"There are twelve martial sages in the world, and the Ming Dynasty only has three. Counting Taoist Yunni, there are only four of them. How can they be so much stronger than those two families? I almost have no chance to breathe..."
Lin Wenjun looked depressed.
Ever since she was sent to Longyuan Road, she has never felt at ease for a day. First, she was suppressed in various ways by the leader of Yunzhou, "You Changfeng".
Now, they are blocked in Longyuan City again.
"Asking knowingly?"
Lin Surong glared at her coldly.
Before Jiazi, the Ming Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse, and only then did the battle of Liujishan occur.
Before that battle, each of the three great martial saints of the Ming Dynasty was struck by someone. One of them died on the spot. The Sword God Mu Qingliu and Zhenhai King ‘Han Zhongtian’ were also injured.
In that battle, Da Li and Tianlang each had a martial saint, and together they attacked Zhang Ming, so they had a perfect situation.
But who would have expected that Zhang Xuanba was born out of the blue, and that one man attacked Tantai and destroyed it, and that the two great martial saints Li and Yuan would live longer than Zhang Ming and extend his life for more than a decade.
"Two senior sisters."
At this time, Yu Lingxian spoke. Under the light, her expression flickered, with an indescribable smell:
"What is the reason for the uprisings that our teaching center has been doing all these years?"
"Um?!"
Both women frowned:
"Of course it is to overthrow Zhang Ming, spread the word of mother-in-law reunification, and save the people from the fire and water!"
Yu Lingxian's eyes flashed and she said something that made the two of them change their minds:
"For thousands of years, our teaching has always been determined to spread welfare to the people of the world and relieve the suffering of the people as our own responsibility.
