Start from the thief

Wangjiang Tower's swordsmanship is world-famous.

The sword power of the river is endless and surging like waves. Once it is launched, unless the sword holder takes the initiative to withdraw, he will not stop until one of the two sides is defeated and rises up again.

It’s easy to win against the people from Wangjiang Tower.

Face it head on.

Back then, the old man defeated Dajiang's sword intent head-on with one punch after another, smashing the endless waves and also shattering the owner's confidence in his cultivation.

Now, he seemed to see the same scene again.

Li Li is to some extent a replica of the old man.

Neither of them used any weapons, relying solely on their fists and feet.

Neither of them is very reasonable and they start fighting when they disagree.

The most important thing is that both of them are good at fighting.

The fist burning with flames hit directly onto the huge sword wrapped in raging waves. The seemingly weak flesh and blood body actually confronted the huge steel sword head-on without being at a disadvantage.

No, not only did it not fall behind, it even slightly surpassed the greatsword.

Li Li came for revenge.

Yelu Mingjing was the direct murderer, but she was no match for Yelu Mingjing. Even the person the teacher finally designated to fight against Yelu Mingjing was not her.

Not only did she lose the chance to avenge her biological parents with her own hands, she also lost the possibility of avenging her other father.

Anger and grief will only build up before they are fully released.

The owner of Wangjiang Tower became the only person to vent his anger.

Even Gu Changfeng didn't dare to face the furious Mr. Er.

Although she is a woman, she represents the most violent and masculine thing in the world.

The fire dragon smashed down, and a bloody cut appeared on Li Li's hand.

The host took a step back and the sword paused.

This mere step made him horrified. The sword force of the great river was surging eastwards without hesitation. How could it retreat?

If you retreat, you lose.

Li Li's fists became even more powerful.

Blood spurted out, all that was Li Li's blood, but it was the owner of the post who was defeated.

The author of this post can be the right-hand man. Even if his cultivation is not as good as the left-hand man, the difference will not be too far. It's a pity that he was crippled by the old man before, and now he has just returned to the inner realm with the help of blood pills.

Otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

But he will still lose.

Li Li completely gave up on defense and tried her best to attack again and again. Except for Yelu Mingjing, even if Yan Hui was alive, he would probably not dare to let her fight like this.

Her fists were bloody, her tears were evaporated by the flames, and her breath overwhelmed the Wangjiang Tower.

Li Li roared towards the sky, a fire dragon rushed up into the sky, and the wind and clouds changed color.

The owner of Wangjiang Tower lay in the ruins, his lips moved a few times, his bones were broken, and he died with his eyes open.

Everything should be going well.

Compared to Li Li, Meng Yan has it much easier.

His opponents were all external scenes. When facing internal scenes, who were extremely skilled in the art of setting up barriers, they had no chance of resistance or even escape.

Within his barrier, if one does not have the ability to break out by force, then facing the master of the barrier is like facing a god.

Meng Yan finished quickly. Looking at the collapsed Wangjiang Tower and Li Li standing in front of the corpse of the owner of Wangjiang Tower, Meng Yan sighed and did not go forward to disturb them.

A carriage stopped outside the gate of Wangjiang Tower.

The carriage had arrived long ago, but Duke Yue waited until the battle above was over before getting off the carriage and slowly climbing up the mountain gate alone.

He is old and a mortal, and the low mountain gate is a great pressure for him.

"Meet Mr. Four."

Duke Yue glanced at Li Li in the distance and wisely chose to turn a blind eye and negotiate directly with Meng Yan.

"Hello."

Meng Yan nodded. Duke Yue was a strange person. He seemed to be trying to stay out of things, but he was always involved in the center of major events.

Duke Yue handed over a booklet.

"what is this?"

"A list of names in the southeast that may be related to the underworld."

Meng Yan's eyes lit up and he took it over: "How did you get it?"

"I was once a member of the underworld."

"ever?"

"I had no choice but to do this because of the situation. It was also my arrangement that the Fourth Prince of Liao could serve as the commander of Wuguan Pass."

Meng Yan put away the list and waved his folding fan: "So what does the Duke's move now mean? Abandoning the dark and joining the light?"

"I dare not. Apart from offering a reward to Mr. Six, I have never done anything to harm the academy. I only ask to be allowed to come to the capital to see the emperor once and wait for his majesty's decision."

Meng Yan smiled: "The Duke is very smart, I wonder if he has remarried or taken a concubine?"

Duke Yue was stunned, then laughed: "He just took in two concubines."

The two nodded to each other, and Duke Yue turned and left Wangjiang Tower.

After he handed over the list, Meng Yan could not kill a man who had just surrendered. He met with Li Tong, and for the sake of their former alliance, Li Tong at least gave him a chance to return home rich and powerful. He took two concubines, which indirectly showed that he no longer bore the grudge of his son's murder.

We are all smart people, and smart people only exchange interests.

Meng Yan looked at the roster in his hand, and the matter in the southeast was settled.

In Linhuang Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty, the imperial teacher was at a loss.

After Li Li was rescued, Li Qi no longer had a goal for his diplomatic mission. He immediately took his men away from Linhuang Prefecture and made it clear that the matter was not over yet.

Although the national teacher's skills were not good, his wisdom was first-rate. He immediately wrote to the Liao emperor to prepare for war. At the same time, he sent envoys to the south of the Yangtze River, intending to contact the Red Lotus Sect to put some pressure on the Tang Dynasty.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and the imperial master even used many treasures to send the envoy to Jiangnan in the shortest possible time.

Wearing a mask, Yang He received the envoys solemnly in Yuezhou.

The plan proposed by the Liao envoys was very simple. The Red Lotus Sect would send troops to Jingzhou and Qiantang. There was no need to fight, just to make a gesture. The Liao Kingdom would provide goods and property worth two years' taxes in the entire Jiangnan Road as a reward, to be paid in installments.

Yang He was very satisfied with the price, but he made one point: he would not accept installment payments and only wanted cash, and he would dispatch troops when the money was paid.

The Liao envoy was in a difficult situation, but Yang He refused to give in, so the Liao envoy had no choice but to agree.

"Master, are we really going to send troops?"

Zhu Huo was a little confused. He was one of the few people in the Red Lotus Sect who knew some of the inside story.

"Of course we have to send troops. We send troops every year. But they said that there is no need to fight. We are just pretending. Li Tong will know that I am just pretending. When the time comes, I will give her some of the things given by Liao. Then she will really send troops. What does Zhao Yushu say about this kind of thing? Freeloader?"

Zhu Huo frowned immediately: "Vulgar."

"Hey, it's really vulgar. I don't know why a student from the academy would say such vulgar words, but it's really appropriate. How is the thing I asked you to do going?"

"After the master finished speaking, I immediately notified all local branches to tighten their manpower, and since the left envoy left, we have been investigating secretly and there has been no trouble."

Yang He nodded: "Our most important task now is to clean up the people in the underworld."

Gu Changfeng has been here and left. The Left Emissary has been running the Red Lotus Sect for many years, so there must be people from the underworld there. Yang He’s energy now needs to be concentrated on dealing with these people.
