Martial Cultivator

Although Mrs. Yang is the owner of Jianqi Mountain, she can't even say that the entire Jianqi Mountain is the same, let alone dare to reject Emperor Daliang directly. As the representative of Emperor Daliang, although Li Heng looks easy-going, he can't be heard. Listen to those words, which sentence doesn't contain murderous intent?

Which sentence means a good discussion.

Mrs. Yang has also had many dealings with monk Fang Wai, but where has she ever been so direct?

Just when Mrs. Yang was about to speak, a mountain disciple had arrived not far away. Li Heng stood up with a smile, "The mountain master has many things to do, so there is no need to accompany me."

Mrs. Yang smiled apologetically, and then reluctantly walked out of the bamboo building. Then she called the disciple over and asked, "What's the matter?"

After the disciple said a few words in Mrs. Yang's ear, he looked a little unnatural and said, "Mountain Master, it seems that they all know what happened on the mountain."

Mrs. Yang smiled helplessly. There was no need to say more about this kind of thing. Li Heng went up the mountain in a secretive way. He went up the mountain with great fanfare and didn't care at all whether any monks outside the country knew whether he was coming.

This style of conduct was in the same vein as that of Emperor Liang. No wonder he was the emperor's most trusted servant.

Mrs. Yang sighed, "I'll go right away."

But before she had gone far, Mrs. Yang suddenly heard someone's voice behind her. When he turned around, Li Heng was already standing not far away and said with a smile, "Can I meet the guest of the mountain master?"

Mrs. Yang smiled bitterly, and then asked, "Is this also what Mr. expected?"

Li Heng smiled and said nothing.

Mrs. Yang quickly shook her head and said, "Sorry, I can't agree to this, sir."

Li Heng said softly, "The situation of the mountain owner may not be easy. They are not very reasonable."

"Sir, you are already very unreasonable. Is this person going to be even more unreasonable?"

Mrs. Yang had a headache. There were some things that could have been planned out slowly and carefully considered, but this person seemed to have to get a result in a very short time, so she was unwilling to give him any time to react or make a decision.

Li Heng saw Mrs. Yang's distress and said what he meant, "Some things have been waiting for a long time. His Majesty can't bear to wait for too long, so he always hopes to go faster."

Mrs. Yang didn't say anything, but quickly turned around and left.

…

…

The atmosphere in the welcoming hall of Jianqi Mountain is now a bit solemn. Several monks who are familiar faces to Jianqi Mountain are standing in the hall, and their faces are not very good-looking.

It wasn't until Mrs. Yang appeared that one of the old monks with a goatee stepped out, blocked Mrs. Yang at the door, and asked impatiently, "Old Yang, is Jianqi Mountain really going to be a vassal of Daliang?"

Straight to the point, nothing more.

Mrs. Yang glanced at the old monk in front of her and did not speak in a hurry. This monk with a goatee was named Ouyang Ni. He came from Hongyun Mountain not far from Jianqi Mountain. The two mountains have always had a close relationship. They were even friends a few days ago. A sword cultivator from Hongyun Mountain came up to the mountain to get the sword. Now he was the first to speak, and he was so direct. Naturally, it was not his original intention. It was just that Mrs. Yang didn't have to guess who was behind him. In fact, she probably understood.

"Why do you, Brother Ouyang, know something that I don't even know?" Mrs. Yang said with a straight face and an indifferent expression.

Ouyang Ni frowned and said, "Aren't the eunuch named Li Heng and the young warrior who slaughtered a Qingshui Mountain on the mountain? Didn't your Jianqi Mountain also agree to help the young warrior forge swords?"

Mrs. Yang calmly said, "It is indeed true. How about it?"

although

This matter is not a secret, but now that it has been known to outsiders so quickly, Mrs. Yang knows that there must be an insider in the mountain without even thinking about it.

"Your Jianqi Mountain has always only made flying swords. How come you have now started to help people do this kind of thing?" Ouyang Ni said in a low voice, "Now that the matter has been spread, what will the world think of you?"

Mrs. Yang remained silent. He had known he would hear such words.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, Jianqi Mountain has had such a good reputation for so many years, why don't you just give it up?"

This time it was another old man in gray robe who spoke, but he was not a close acquaintance of Jianqi Mountain, just a casual acquaintance. Naturally, it was not for himself that he followed him up the mountain this time.

Mrs. Yang frowned and said, "This is a matter of Jianqi Mountain. When did Jianqi Mountain take orders from your Wancao Mountain?"

When facing Ouyang Ni, Mrs. Yang could be polite because of their friendship, but facing the person in front of her, he didn't have a good face.

The gray-robed old man's face changed slightly, but he still smiled and said, "We are all in the same way. I am also thinking about Jianqi Mountain. Why is Fellow Daoist Yang doing this?"

Mrs. Yang turned to look at the other people and asked, "Did you also come up the mountain to question Jianqi Mountain's actions?"

The few people looked at each other, shook their heads, and said some indifferent words.

Mrs. Yang frowned and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, you can actually go down the mountain."

After hearing this, Ouyang Ni immediately opened his mouth and said, "Lao Yang!"

Mrs. Yang glanced at her old friend and sighed, "What on earth is Jianqi Mountain? What do you think? Don't I know? Jianqi Mountain can forge swords for sword repairers. It used to be possible, and it can be done now, and it will be done in the future." Yes, what is Jianqi Mountain called Jianqi Mountain if it doesn’t make swords? It’s just about making swords. I can’t refuse what Daliang offers, and you can’t take it out, so why bother?”

"As for other things, you didn't worry about it in the first place, so why bother now to use up all the little incense?"

Mrs. Yang stared at Ouyang Ni in front of her and sighed softly, "These are matters for big shots. What are you guys doing as pawns?"

There are some things that don’t need to be said in detail, just a little bit, and you probably know everything you need to know. As expected, after hearing these words, the expressions of several people present changed slightly, and they felt a little unnatural.

Mrs. Yang sighed and said, "Let's go down the mountain."

Ouyang Ni opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He glanced at those people, and they said goodbye knowingly.

After those people left, Ouyang Ni said softly, "Old Yang, what are you thinking, can't you tell me a few words?"

Mrs. Yang thought for a while and asked, "Did you know that the imperial edict came to Jianqi Mountain a few days ago?"

Ouyang Ni nodded, "I heard something."

Mrs. Yang asked again, "Then do you know that my Jianqi Mountain can't stop that imperial edict?"

Ouyang Ni was startled.

"Earlier, I'm afraid you also knew about His Majesty's trip to the North. Even the Demon Emperor couldn't kill him, so why can't you explain something?"

Mrs. Yang was a little irritable. Although she dismissed the few guys who went up the mountain lightly today, from today onwards, there will be many monks going up the mountain, and then the real trouble will begin.

Ouyang Ni naturally knew about this matter, and also knew that Mrs. Yang and

The situation in Jianqi Mountain, but he came up the mountain to inquire about the situation, his face was a little ugly, and he whispered, "Old Yang, you have to tell me everything, right?"

Mrs. Yang shook her head, which meant she had no comment.

Ouyang Ni sighed and said nothing more.

"Don't take it to heart. I hope you and I will drink together again in the future."

After Ouyang Ni said this, he also went down the mountain.

Looking at his back, Mrs. Yang's heart became more and more gloomy.

Mrs. Yang, who had gone to the guest reception hall, returned to the bamboo tower.

At this moment, there happened to be some wind blowing, and the bamboo tower kept making sounds, like someone playing the piano, which made people feel particularly comfortable when they heard it.

This also made Mrs. Yang feel a lot better.

Li Heng stood under the eaves, looking at the mountain master of Jianqi Mountain who came back in half an hour, and said calmly, "The mountain master just wants to curse, you can speak now, don't worry about anything, I just take it as what you are scolding." Me, not someone else.”

Mrs. Yang looked at him and asked bitterly, "Is this also your method?"

Li Heng shook his head, "Your Majesty never does this kind of thing. It is what it is. The so-called emperor's mental skills are tired enough when used on officials. How can they be used on the mountain master?"

Mrs. Yang said, "That's a conspiracy."

Li Heng did not refute, but repeated again, "I still want to say it to the mountain master again. There is something I hope never to tell the mountain master."

…

…

Because of Li Heng's departure from the palace, a young eunuch with fine features is now serving the Emperor of Liang. Li Heng was a young eunuch who was given by Emperor Lingzong as a chamberlain to the current emperor. He has never been contaminated with the so-called love between a man and a woman in his life. As for the palace, The so-called eunuchs and maids in the palace often became partners. Li Heng had never done this, but a few years ago, the head of the eunuchs did accept a young apprentice, who was also a poor child. He was deceived and paid a lot of money, saying that he would be sent to the palace after he was purified. Therefore, the child's biological father took scissors and purified the child himself. After that, he finally survived and was able to get out of bed. When they arrived, they went to look for the person who promised to them, but who knew that by the time they went to look for him, the building was already empty. This made them realize that they had been cheated, and they were desperate. , had no choice but to bite the bullet and come back to the palace to try his luck, but as expected, he was eliminated in the first round. When the little eunuch, who was just a child at the time, learned the result, he cried so hard that he was beaten by the palace chamberlain. When he was blasting out, he happened to bump into Li Heng. The head of the chamberlain at that time just squatted down and looked at the child, and only asked, "Does it hurt?"

Zhidong naturally nodded fiercely. He didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, so he just cried and begged him to let him stay.

Li Heng didn't say much, and just gave instructions to keep the little guy. At first, he arranged to do some chores in the imperial kitchen. In those years, the little guy was bullied a lot, but Li Heng ignored him until a few years later. When the boy was older, he found the manager of the imperial kitchen and asked him what he had done in the past few years. After that, Li Heng accepted the boy as his disciple and named him Li Shou probably raised him as his own son.

However, later in the palace, the young eunuch never had an official position. All he had to do every day was to teach Li Heng how to read and write when he was free.

This time Li Heng left the palace for the first time in so many years. He was worried about Emperor Liang, so he mentioned it to His Majesty and asked Li Shou to serve His Majesty for a few days. Emperor Liang did not refuse, so this was

Li Shou met Emperor Liang for the first time, but the little eunuch who was walking on thin ice these days did not make any mistakes.

But today, even though he had served Emperor Liang for a long time, he still did not dare to raise his eyes to even look at Emperor Liang.

His master often talked about this Lord of the World. He yearned for it very much, but he always kept his dignity and inferiority in his heart. He knew that no matter how deep the friendship between his master and His Majesty was, it belonged to the Master and His Majesty, not to himself. .

If you do something like this once, you may lose your head.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Liang stood up from behind the case, rubbed his brow, and said casually, "Li Heng, go out for a walk."

Li Shou lowered his head and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Master has not come back yet."

Only then did Emperor Liang realize. He looked at the little eunuch who kept his head lowered and said, "I'm old, so I forgot about this. That's all. You can go for a walk with me."

Li Shou whispered "I obey" and went to open the study door. He stood quietly on one side, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to leave first.

Emperor Liang stepped out of the imperial study and walked out slowly. After taking a few steps, he smiled to himself and said, "Li Heng seems to be treating you well."

Li Shou didn't know how to answer the unreasonable words, so he just lowered his head.

"I heard that Li Heng came to teach you how to read and write when he had nothing to do. What books have you read?"

Emperor Liang asked casually while wandering around the imperial city.

Li Shou always lowered his head and talked about the titles of many books in a soft voice. They were no longer the elementary school books. Many of the books were actually similar to those read by the scholars in the academy.

"It seems that you are also half a scholar. Why don't you go out of the palace and take the exam to become an official?"

Emperor Liang smiled, probably remembering Li Heng back then. When he was still a young man, Li Heng was more open-minded in his speech. Unlike now, he didn't have any edge and looked like a good old man.

"Your Majesty, I just want to accompany my master and don't want to be an official."

In fact, this sentence should not be said like this, but Emperor Liang didn't care, so it didn't matter.

"You're just a little reserved. I don't like your temperament, but it doesn't matter. I have Li Heng, so you don't need to accompany me."

Emperor Liang's words seemed to mean something, but Li Shou was still smart after all, and he quickly stopped and did not follow Emperor Liang.

So Emperor Liang walked alone in the palace on a whim.

After looking at the red walls and yellow tiles for many years, Emperor Liang was no longer interested. He just walked alone, his heart still.

"Knife-making and sword-making are still different, but I really can't figure it out?"

Emperor Liang shook his head and sighed.

After walking for a while, for some reason, Emperor Daliang stopped in front of the Queen's palace. After a moment of silence, he stepped inside. Since the Queen left, this palace has been decreed by him, and any outsider No one can enter it, so there is not a single maid or eunuch in this huge palace.

Entering the palace, Emperor Liang came to a dressing table. The brass mirror was already a little dusty.

Emperor Liang reached out and picked up an eyebrow pencil, then put it down again.

Looking at the empty dressing table, Emperor Liang felt a little happy in his eyes as he thought of the woman who used to dress up here every day.

Putting down his eyebrow pencil, Emperor Liang smiled and said, "I miss you a little."
