Speed ​​Pass starts with choosing a hunter

Chapter 420 Chaos is coming
Shenfu Mountain.

The status of this mountain in Huanglongfu and even the entire Lingzhou has become transcendent.

Although no new consciousness had appeared in the door, no one dared to provoke them.

Everyone knows that there is a Wanjun Peak in Shenfu Mountain, where two Xuanyang second-rank officials came from.

Not to mention Lingzhou, even the major sects in the northern border that have existed for thousands of years dare not have the slightest idea of ​​targeting the Shenfu Sect.

At least not while those two were still alive.

On the hillside of Wanjun Peak.

In a small courtyard, a dashing woman with a high ponytail and dressed in men's clothes was talking to a gentle and beautiful woman.

The two girls each have their own characteristics, and they have a unique charm when standing together.

"Qiao Niang, you really don't know where Junior Brother Bai went?"

You Shengnan asked curiously.

Xiao Qiaoniang chuckled and shook her head: "I really don't know."

Ever since Bai Yuan left Lingzhou, she has been living in Shenfu Mountain. Because she felt that there were no familiar people on the main peak, she simply moved to Wanjun Peak and lived next to You Shengnan. Their relationship became better and better.

You Shengnan curled her lips and said, "Junior Brother Bai is really tight-lipped. Even you were kept in the dark."

Xiao Qiaoniang defended Bai Yuan: "He must have something that he didn't have time to tell me."

You Shengnan was helpless.

I don’t know what kind of magic potion my junior fellow apprentice gave to this woman to make her so devoted to him.

But she was also very envious of Qiaojie in her heart.

She might be the first person to witness Bai Yuan's rise. At that time, Bai Yuan was just a disciple of a martial arts school with some fame in a small county, and Xiao Qiaoniang was just a peasant woman with some looks.

But now, Bai Yuan has already soared into the sky.

Even Xiao Qiaoniang had already broken through the entry barrier early on, and now with the help of Bai Yuan, she has obtained a powerful sentient monster. Maybe she will become a powerful sentient being in the near future.

The strongest person in Shenfu Sect now is Yu Hui, the commander-in-chief of the Shenfu Army, who is at the peak of his strength. But in fact, the strongest person is the seemingly weak woman in front of him.

The mere ability to command a seventh-level monster is enough to instantly kill any martial artist who has reached the highest level.

And it was not only Bai Yuan and Xiao Qiaoniang, but also Li Ting, Cheng Li, Ma Dingjun and others brought by Bai Yuan, who performed very well at Wanjun Peak.

Could it be that Qinghe County has good feng shui?
A strange thought appeared in You Shengnan's mind.

Just as You Shengnan was thinking about whether to move her grandfather's grave to Qinghe, a familiar voice was heard at the door.

"Senior Sister You, you are insulting me again."

When the two girls saw the man at the door, they were surprised and spoke at the same time.

"Brother Yuan."

"Junior brother."

Xiao Qiaoniang was extremely excited and threw herself directly into Bai Yuan's arms.

Obviously, her usual calm appearance was just an act. She was more anxious than anyone else when Bai Yuan lost contact.

Bai Yuan felt a warmth rising in his heart.

It really feels good to be a little bit concerned about someone.

"I'm sorry, I came back late."

Just like when he was hunting in Qinghe County, sometimes he would chase a blind bear until dark, and Xiao Qiaoniang would wait anxiously until the second half of the night, only feeling relieved when Bai Yuan came back.

Now it’s just that the blind bear has been replaced by a big monster, and one night has turned into a year.

"Just come back."

Xiao Qiaoniang cheered herself up and tried hard to force a smile.

Bai Yuan smiled gently.

Cough
Seeing that something was wrong, You Shengnan had to pretend to cough lightly.

Xiao Qiaoniang then left Bai Yuan's arms. They were already an old couple, but her cheeks were still blushing.

Bai Yuan looked at You Shengnan carelessly: "Sister You, thank you for taking care of Sister Qiao during this period of time."

You Shengnan quickly waved her hands: "I didn't take care of Qiaoniang, I was just chatting."

With Xiao Qiaoniang's current strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the patron saint of Shenfu Gate.

Only then did You Shengnan have time to look at Bai Yuan: "Why are you so thick?"

He remembered that although Bai Yuan was also strong before, he was far less strong than he is now.

Bai Yuan: "Exercise regularly and eat more protein."

You Shengnan rolled her eyes.

Anyway, she had long been accustomed to Bai Yuan's frequent use of weird words, and she would not believe a single word of it.

She caught a glimpse of another figure standing in the doorway.

"Who is he?"

You Shengnan looked at the boy who looked a little embarrassed at the door.

Bai Yuan waved to Huyanshan and said, "Come here and meet Master's Wife and Master's Uncle."

"You're accepting another disciple?"

You Shengnan said in surprise.

As everyone knows, Murong Fu, the genius of the Murong family of Shenfu Sect, is Bai Yuan's eldest disciple. There is also a little girl brought by Bai Yuan who is the second disciple, and then there are the others.

There are only two disciples, which is extremely rare for Bai Yuan of his status.

Even You Shengnan herself has already accepted eight apprentices.

Hu Yanshan walked up to the two girls obediently and saluted with the clumsy Xuanyang etiquette he had just learned: "Greetings, Master's Wife and Master's Uncle."

Xiao Qiaoniang looked at the chubby Huyanshan and smiled gently: "He is a good child."

Bai Yuan looked at Qiaojie.

Why does Qiaojie exude maternal radiance at this moment?
But when I think about the fact that both Qiaojie and I are already in our thirties, it seems very reasonable.

Bai Yuan is still able to remain young because of his breakthrough, but Sister Qiao has not yet broken through the perception barrier, and her life span is no more than a hundred years. Although she still looks beautiful, she is showing signs of aging.

Looks like we need to catch another monster.

He made up his mind that he must help Qiaojie break through.

In this way, they can stay together for at least two hundred years.

Afterwards, Bai Yuan took Huyan Shan to meet his senior brother Murong Fu.

The two young men were of similar age. Although Huyan Shan was the younger brother, because barbarians looked older, people who didn't know the situation would definitely think that Huyan Shan was the senior brother.

Under the careful training of the Murong family, Murong Fu had long gotten rid of his childhood clumsiness and was impeccable in his dealings with others.

He is very qualified to be a senior disciple.

For a period of time afterwards, Bai Yuan lived in Shenfu Mountain, and spent his days sightseeing with Xiao Qiaoniang, having a very happy time.

This scene is as if the life-and-death battle does not exist.

In fact, the life-and-death battle seems to have been truly forgotten.

He had been back in Shenfu Mountain for half a month, but during such a long time, the capital city had not given him any news.

This is very interesting.

Yang Fangyu had said before that something big seemed to have happened in the capital.

Now it seems to be true in all likelihood.

What made him feel even more strange was that several groups of the Censorate's secret agents in Lingzhou had gone to the capital, but none of them had returned.

Really weird.

However, Bai Yuan had no intention of going to the capital city in person to investigate.

As long as his boss doesn't push him, he's happy to slack off.

The emperor is not in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry either. Li Chengyuan hasn't said anything, so he certainly won't make trouble.

Anyway, Lingzhou is full of monsters now, which is simply a perfect place to spawn monsters. Isn't it wonderful to accompany Qiaojie and spawn monsters every day? As for the situation in the capital, sooner or later someone will tell him.

Not because of anything else, just because of his strength.

This is Bai Yuan’s confidence.

As the governor of Shuofang, Bai Yuan naturally had to maintain peace in the area.

With the King of Qingzhou in charge of Qingzhou, there was naturally no need for him to take action. The rebellious monsters in Lingzhou and Yuzhou were suppressed by him in just half a month.

On this day, when Bai Yuan was teaching his two disciples to practice martial arts as usual, Li Huan rushed over from Qingzhou.

"A Yuan, I knew nothing would happen to you."

Li Huan and Yang Fangyu walked up Shenfu Mountain.

Li Huan was also relieved when he saw Bai Yuan looking full of energy.

There have been rumors before that Bai Yuan was assassinated by a mysterious martial arts master. After all, Bai Yuan had just signed a life and death agreement and should have been watched by all the major clans in the world. How could he disappear without a sound, unless he was already dead?

"Brother Li."

Bai Yuan was also very happy to see Li Huan.

In his previous small circle, the people he was most familiar with were actually Yang Fangyu and Li Huan.

When old friends meet again, it’s natural to get drunk.

The three of them simply sat down in the small courtyard of Wanjun Peak, eating a few side dishes and drinking some wine, and started chatting while drinking.

After hearing about Bai Yuan's trip to Beiyuan, Li Huan sighed: "Ah Yuan, you missed a big show."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu both became interested.

Li Huan is a member of the royal family, so he must know more information.

Yang Fangyu hurriedly urged: "Tell me about it quickly."

He was also very curious about what had happened in the capital.

Although there were only three brothers in the courtyard, Li Huan couldn't help but lower his voice, which showed how serious the matter was.

"I heard that the emperor is ill."

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

No wonder Xuan Yang has been acting so strange recently.

The emperor is the foundation of a country. The previous emperor Li Chengyuan was in his prime, so of course there would be no problems. But once the emperor showed signs of decline, the situation would change drastically.

You know, in addition to being the emperor, Li Chengyuan is also the grandmaster of Mingxin Pass.

It is obviously not a trivial matter when a grandmaster falls ill.

Li Huan also looked worried: "My father has been secretly summoned to the capital."

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even the King of Qingzhou has gone to the capital. It seems that the situation in the palace is not good, otherwise they would never allow a king from other places to enter the capital.

He finally understood why the life-and-death battle with the Tianxuan Sect ended in nothing.

Now Li Chengyuan is seriously ill and can barely take care of himself, so how can he have the mind to complete that great cause?

Yang Fangyu drank a glass of wine silently.

Xuan Yang's situation was more difficult than he had imagined.

Although he was a military general, he was also a serious scholar, and a student of Yingshan Academy, one of the four major academies.

So he knew very well that the overthrow of a dynasty could happen in a moment.

Perhaps it is because the genes left by Emperor Taizu are too powerful. In the two thousand years since Xuanyang was founded, although the transfer of the throne has had some twists and turns, it has been generally stable, and each emperor has been of above-average ability.

The current emperor, Li Chengyuan, is a rare emperor with great abilities.

But precisely because everyone, including Li Chengyuan himself, thinks so, the position of crown prince has remained vacant.

It didn’t matter when Li Chengyuan was still strong, but now that he is seriously ill, it has become a big problem.

This is a dispute over the foundation of the country.

What is Kunimoto?
It’s just the issue of the emperor’s successor. Several previous dynasties collapsed because of this issue.

Coupled with the powerful martial arts sects and the Demon Sect in Beiyuan, Xuanyang is now in a precarious situation.

Yang Fangyu had already smelled the scent before the storm.

He finally understood that the reason why he had been dragging his feet on his paperwork for so long was because it involved the question of taking sides.

There are seven or eight princes who are eligible to inherit the throne. The supporters behind them will certainly try their best to gain more power from officials. In Confucianism, supporting the dragon is the best way to gain great fortune.

Taifu and Taibao are the best examples.

Faced with such temptation, who would not be tempted?

Ultimately, it's all about interests.

Yang Fangyu sighed softly: "I don't know where we will go in the future?"

He began to feel confused about the future.

Originally, he thought that he would return home in glory, and then, like the ancestors of the Yang family, use the power in his hands to continuously strengthen the Yang family's position in Jiangzhou. If he made progress in martial arts, perhaps he could even become an official and become a minister of one of the six ministries.

As for taking a further step to become the Grand Master of Mingxin and rank second, he didn't even dare to think about it.

But now, with the emperor's health problems, everything has become confusing.

As a large family, the Yang family is bound to be involved in this dispute.

When Li Huan heard what Yang Fangyu said, his face also darkened.

However, compared to the Yang family, the situation of the Qingzhou Palace is much better. As a hereditary royal family, the Qingzhou Palace is one of the few forces qualified to choose neutrality because they have the blood of the Li family in their bodies.

No matter how bad it is, he can still be a leisurely prince.

Of course, Li Huan could also take advantage of the chaos to rise up and become the King of Qingzhou or even sit on the throne.

This situation had occurred in the previous dynasty.

However, compared to becoming the King of Qingzhou, the event of a vassal king becoming an emperor has not happened for thousands of years.

The reason was that there were too many successful cases before, so the Li royal family had extremely strict control over royal families from other places.

The most relaxed of the three was undoubtedly Bai Yuan.

Because his current position does not rely on any external force, it is all his own power.

No matter how chaotic the world is, it can't take away his strength.

In fact, the more chaotic the outside world is, the faster he grows, and he will not be hindered by external things.

Bai Yuan raised his glass and drank the wine.

With the incident in the palace, the current situation in Xuanyang, as the city of northwest Shanxi has become, has become a mess, as the saying goes in my previous life.

If the Demon Sect had not given up on moving south for some unknown reason, Xuanyang might have been destroyed directly.

A great chaos is about to occur, and all the people in the world are just dust.

There was silence.

The three of them each had their own thoughts and drank separately.

It was unknown how long it had been, but Yang Fangyu seemed to have made some kind of decision. He looked at Bai Yuan with a determined look on his face: "A Yuan, I won't go to Jiangzhou anymore. I'll hang out with you!"

Li Huan looked at Yang Fangyu in surprise.

He knew how much Yang Fangyu paid for that position. How could he just give up now?
Bai Yuan: "Fang Yu, you don't have to do this."

Yang Fangyu was even more determined: "I have made up my mind."

Logically speaking, he is not qualified to choose his position in his current status, but Yang Fangyu is not a person who waits passively, so he decided to take control of his own destiny.

Rather than being bound by his family and having no control over his own affairs, he chose to stand directly with Bai Yuan.

Although Bai Yuan is not the most powerful among those factions, he must be the most trustworthy.

Because Bai Yuan has created miracles countless times.
