Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 656
The master said seriously, and I had no choice but to step aside.

The next day I learned that the senior sister was really going to be taken away by her parents, and her parents went all the way to pick up the senior sister back to get married in order to get a bride price of 20 taels of silver from Li Yuanwai from the village.

And Li Yuanwai is already in his seventies.

The senior sister agreed to leave. Later, I scolded her outside the door. Usually, if I scolded her once, she would definitely reply me ten sentences, but this time she didn't reply a single sentence. I saw that aggressive methods were useless, so I went back to my room to sleep.

If she wants to marry, just marry!

I slept with my clothes on, and in the middle of the night I felt someone sneaking into my room. The person tucked the corners of my quilt and whispered:
"Taibai, I'm leaving tomorrow."

I pretended to be asleep to see what she wanted to say when she sneaked into my room in the middle of the night.

"Actually, I didn't like you very much before, and you are really hateful. You bullied me all the time when you first came to Xiaoshan. At that time, I wished I could swallow you alive to relieve my hatred, but I later But somehow I am very happy..."

She stopped talking suddenly, but I knew what she was going to say.

I closed my eyes, my expression was calm, but I was laughing wildly inside, what a girl's mind!It turned out to be hidden for so many years.

She sighed.

"Do you think I'm conflicted?"

"If you like me so much, don't leave."

I suddenly made a sound and grabbed her wrist, she was startled:
"You didn't sleep?!"

"If I don't pretend to be asleep, how do I know that you, Senior Sister, have coveted me for a long time?"

I curled up my lips.

"The man really has every good thing!"

She snorted coldly, then kicked me, turned and left.

The next morning, I went to the main hall to see her off and told her:
"It's too late for you to regret it now, and I'll marry you then."

She just straightened her bamboo hat and bowed to Master:
"A teacher for a day, a father for life, Master, please forgive me for not being able to stay by your side."

"Let's go, let's go."

The master waved his hand, turned around and went back to the inner room, as if he would show his reluctance if he looked at it one more time.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi wiped their tears aside:

"Sister, we will miss you."

"Take care of Master for me."

Then she didn't look at me again, and went down the mountain with her parents.

Her attitude confuses me, but I'm used to her fluctuating personality.

She chose the path by herself, and I can't help it. Maybe she was just a momentary joy. Later, I sneaked down the mountain to visit her, but I heard from others that Li Yuanwai's house was ransacked by the imperial court because of corruption, and all the female family members in the mansion were sent to prison. Ye Ting was a slave.

I inquired about my senior sister, but to no avail, but on the way back to Xiaoshan, I received the bad news that my master was going west by crane.

When I rushed back to Xiaoshan, the whole Xiaoshan was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

"Brother! You are finally back!"

Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi rushed over with tears in their eyes.
"Master he..."

I stroked their heads soothingly, and walked towards the inner room, only to see a few snow-white feathers scattered on the master's bed, glowing with a faint golden light.

I was a little choked up, but I also knew that Master had really gone.

Later, I set up a tomb for Master under the thousand-year-old tree in Xiaoshan, and I would go to worship it every Qingming Festival.

The teacher is like a father, and the master has always had no children, and has always regarded us as his children, so I have kept filial piety for the master for five years.

Xiaoshan has traveled through four seasons in five years, and I will be twenty in a blink of an eye, and Qinglian swordsmanship has been practiced to the point of perfection.

But I have never been down the mountain since my master became immortal. Master taught us before his death: living for the stability of the world, punishing evil and promoting good, killing demons and demons are what we Xiaoshan disciples must do.

So I made a decision, one person and one sword, to go to the largest prosperous city-Chang'an.

Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi guarded Xiaoshan, telling me to go to the rivers and lakes to make a fortune and fulfill Master's long-cherished wish. They will always help me guard Xiaoshan.

I took one last look at the fairy mist-shrouded Xiaoshan Mountain, turned around, lifted my white robe, and left.

【Side: Li Bai】

Chapter 1 Boys Walk

As the spring equinox is approaching, a light rain sneaks into Chang'an City silently under the cover of night. Unknown wildflowers on the roadside are moistened and bloom one after another, and the leaves of plantains in the courtyards of wealthy families are as green as emeralds.

The moonlight is cold tonight, and my figure is like the wind, shuttling over the row upon row of buildings, followed by dozens of figures chasing after me.

Of course, everyone can catch up to me, let alone kill me. If I say that I, Li Bai, am the second in Chang'an City Qinggong, no one will dare to say that I am number one.

I have been in Chang'an City for about a year, but I am being chased and killed every day. The streets of Chang'an are covered with my arrest warrants.

But the person who came to chase me today had obviously undergone rigorous training and was much more powerful than before. He was able to chase me from day to night without stopping.

Gradually, I lost my patience, so I quickened my pace a little. The wind blew my white robes, and when I stood on the famous tower of heaven and earth in Chang'an City, those dozens of elite killers had already been thrown away by me. In the distance behind, the shadow has long been invisible.

I hooked the corners of my lips, and when I was about to turn sideways to pick up the wine gourd hanging from my waist, I glanced out of the corner of my eye and accidentally discovered that this heaven and earth is really a good place!The pavilion at the highest point in Chang'an was being stepped under my feet, and I felt inexplicably "seeing all the small mountains at a glance" in my heart.

The field of vision here is extremely wide, and Chang'an is even more brightly lit at night, so bustling and lively!

The whole city of Chang'an is under my eyes, and the cool and moist spring breeze that blows occasionally makes me feel very comfortable.

I simply sat down on the eaves of the heaven and earth, and just took a sip of the wine in the gourd when I heard rustling sounds in my ears.

I turned my eyes slightly to the corners of my eyes, and saw a 12-year-old boy in red standing not far from the eaves, staring at me like a torch.

The boy has a pair of big fluffy ears, short dark brown hair slightly curly, carrying a black dart that is about the same size as him, and a cotton scarf of the same color covers most of his face, revealing a pair of big round eyes. He just stared at me and didn't come close. I stared back at him, and he acted like he was ready to attack me at any time. How should I say it?The milk is fierce and the milk is fierce.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then challenged him:
"Why are children climbing so high? If they accidentally fall down and get hurt, they will cry and ask grandma to hold them."

The young man froze, obviously irritated by my words, he yelled at me, and then threw the dart in his hand towards me.

"Brave fugitive! Take your life!"

I saw that the dart changed from one to five, and it was thrown towards me.

"You still have a temper at such a young age!"

I tapped my toes, and the five darts flew past my feet. The darts missed and returned to the boy's hands.

I walked quickly, took the opportunity to get behind the boy, and before he had time to react, I picked up the back collar of his clothes, and the boy was kicked and yelled while I lifted his feet into the air:
"You disregard human life! Sooner or later you will be punished! Let me tell you, I have a hundred ways to torture you!"

"Oh? Which one hundred ways?"

I suddenly became interested and raised my eyebrows.

"Let go of me first, and I'll tell you."

he haggled.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

I laughed and said, my fingers tightened a little, and I stretched out my arms to lift the young man's small body above the eaves, as if about to let go.

……

"You... you dare to try?!"

Although the boy's tone was still strong, he still trembled a little.

"Didn't you call me Song before?"

I asked back, feeling that the young man in front of me was very interesting, and wanted to tease him a few times.

The young man closed his eyes. Suddenly, there was a biting sound of wind in my ears, and a yellow token brushed against my sleeve. I was unaware of it. I couldn't help but loosen my fingers, and the young man's body fell vertically.

I was startled and tried to grab him, but another token appeared behind me unexpectedly, so I had no choice but to dodge sideways.

Turning around, I saw a man holding a token standing not far away.

I didn't hear the sound of the young man falling to the ground, so I realized that the young man would naturally know how to do light work without me needing to save him.

The young man slipped to stand next to the man, looking like he had made a mistake.

"Master Di..."

"Yuan Fang, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you for your actions this time?"

The man opened his mouth slightly, and although he was talking to a boy named Yuan Fang, he looked at me without squinting.

"I...but I followed him secretly for a few days, and finally found the opportunity to strike today..."

The young man looked at me unwillingly.

"Don't make excuses, Yuan Fang, if you sabotage the plan just because of your greed for a moment, I won't be able to keep you when His Majesty asks you."

The man sighed and ordered again:
"Forget it, you go back to the yamen first, and leave it to me here."

"But……"

The young man wanted to say something more, but the man turned his head and stared at the young man coldly, then his two huge ears drooped down, and he backed away quietly:

"Yes."

I don't know much about the plan the man said, but I can guess it roughly.

When I left Xiaoshan and first entered Chang'an, I wanted to punish the evil, promote the good, eradicate violence and bring peace to the good, so I killed several court officials who oppressed the people, and borrowed their money from the people to rob the rich and help the poor, so my name gradually grew. It spread in Chang'an City and became a well-known figure among women and children.

It is generally believed that killing people should pay for their lives, but I don't think the court officials I killed were considered human beings. They did all kinds of evil, relying on their own status, burning, killing, looting, bullying men and women, and never doing anything utterly unconscionable.

Kill them directly, so I don't care about it.

But even though I am a hero who saves the people in the hearts of ordinary people, I am a potential threat in the hearts of those dignitaries and royal relatives, and they all want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

But judging from the content of the wanted order, it says "a huge reward is offered to capture Li Bai alive", which shows that they don't really want to kill me.

Seeing the clothes and posture of the man in front of him, I'm afraid he is also an official.

A knee-length brocade suit was tailored properly, with dark patterns of auspicious clouds embroidered on it, and his short black hair was meticulously combed neatly, but a strand of green hair was very conspicuous, especially the token in his hand, which showed his position.

Oh, I came to my senses, the magistrate of Chang'an City - Di Renjie.

I've heard of this name before, and Di Renjie, as the so-called parent official, is rarely praised by the common people.

Unexpectedly, this big man also appeared.

Things are getting better and better...

I raised my head, rolled my Adam's apple up and down, and drank half a jug of wine.

"You are a good official, so I won't kill you."

I raised my eyes, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of my mouth:

"If your lord is willing to have a game or two with Li, it will be a very good drink to add to the fun."

Di Renjie just nodded and smiled slightly, his eyes glanced over the Qinglian on my waist, and then he looked into my eyes again and said:

"Di has long admired the name of Sword Immortal. When I saw him today, he was truly extraordinary and a good-looking talent. It's just to deal with Di, a small sheriff, to use Qinglian... I'm afraid..."

He pretended to be hesitant to speak, I just thought he was afraid, so he said indifferently:

"You don't have to use it against you."

……

"Of course it's the best."

Di Renjie smiled humbly, and it was only for a moment. A coldness flashed in his eyes, and dozens of tokens flew towards me from his sleeves.

I managed to dodge, and knowing that he is good at long-range attacks, I prepared to subdue him in close quarters.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I approached, he jumped up and kept a distance of two or three meters from me. His Qinggong is not inferior to me. It is really not easy for me to avoid his token and find a way to touch him.

Seeing his ease, I knew that I had indeed underestimated the enemy, but I also showed unreserved admiration.

"I didn't expect Master Di's qinggong to be so good."

"Sword Immortal is overrated."

Di Renjie curled his lips and paused:

"It's just that after a while, Sword Immortal won't be able to boast to Di Mou anymore."

As soon as he changed the topic, when I strangled his sleeve, a successful smile flashed in his eyes, and the tokens flew like arrows. When I changed direction, a burst of pressure suddenly came from the sky, and a large net with shining golden light descended from the sky, covering my whole body.

I tried to tear the big net, but the rope was extremely tough, no matter what I tried to tear it, my palm was burned by the net instead.

When I saw the young man named Yuan Fang returning to Di Renjie and looking at me triumphantly, I knew I had been deceived.

"This heavenly net is an ancient magic tool to control demons. If you, Li Bai, are an ordinary person, how could you escape from this heavenly net? Hahaha!"

The boy was very happy.

The two really put on a good show!I glanced at Di Renjie who was silently smiling at the side, and everything fell apart.

"I didn't expect Master Di, who is always fair, to be so insidious and cunning?"

I just sat on the ground and chatted with them.

"As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. How could the Sword Immortal not understand this truth?"

What a sharp-tongued Di Renjie, I almost itch my teeth with anger, but I'm not a vegetarian, they can play with me in the palm of their hands by making noises, and I can also play with them in the palm of their hands by turning around.

Seeing Li Yuanfang on the side, he began to calculate the reward amount:
"Master Di! Li Bai's bounty is a total of 1 taels! At that time, our yamen can also buy some new things. Should I also raise my salary?"

"I'll give you a raise next month."

Di Renjie's tone couldn't tell how happy he was, but looking at the corners of his mouth that kept rising, I could tell that he was secretly delighted.

"You didn't think I was so valuable?"

I smiled lightly and added:

"Sacrificing me and letting you get the 1 taels for nothing, isn't that worthwhile to me?"

"Shut up! You don't have a chance to speak yet!"

The boy gave me a fierce look, but I smiled at him.

The boy suddenly saw my calm look, probably because he remembered that I seemed to want to pull him when he fell into the pavilion just now, so he couldn't bear it, and then said:

"You can rest assured! Your life is valuable. After all, you are someone His Majesty likes. Although you have killed many important court officials, Your Majesty has long wanted to clean up those scum. With your hands, you can save a lot of money." Trouble, the huge reward is just a cover to catch you alive. When you enter the palace, you will either be a male favorite or a high-ranking official no lower than the third rank. You will be indispensable for your prosperity and wealth..."

"Yuan Fang! Too much talk is bound to fail!"

Di Renjie on the side reminded sharply.

Li Yuanfang immediately fell silent.

Hearing what Li Yuanfang said, the empress probably met me, but I don't remember seeing her at all, but if the empress really wants me to be a male pet or something, of course I would rather die for the jade than for the tile. Will not go either.

But before I leave, I still want to dispel the hatred that I have just been deceived:

"Since your empress wants a male favorite, why don't you learn the principle of getting the moon first when you are close to the water? It can be said that Mrs. Di is also handsome and vigorous, and the empress doesn't like it? You have to look at a countryman like me? Is it true? …Does Master Di have any unspeakable hidden illnesses?"

Di Renjie's face turned dark all of a sudden, who didn't know that Di Renjie liked the princess of Bei'an, and the empress of Tang Dynasty was about 45 even if she kept her young appearance, and her children were about the same age as them.

"You...you shut up! You are putting the cart before the horse!!"

Li Yuanfang hurried over and wanted to teach me a lesson.

But when he approached, I used the green lotus around my waist to spread the net in half.

Li Yuanfang was thrown tens of meters away by the sword intent.

I stood with my sword behind my back, and smiled cynically:
"The Tianluo Diwang is an ancient artifact. Coincidentally, so is the Qinglian in my hand. It seems that your artifact is weaker than mine."

I caressed Qinglian's sword edge lovingly. Qinglian had a spirit and seemed to feel my praise. It began to clank in my hand. I knew it was thirsty for blood again. Since I killed several people with it, After becoming an important official in the imperial court, it became more and more anxious. Although Qinglian was an ancient immortal weapon, it was contaminated with demonic energy during the war between immortals and demons 500 years ago, so it became an artifact between the immortal sword and the demon sword. It is because of Qinglian's existence of both righteousness and evil that she is classified as the head of the four fierce swords. If the sword master does not have enough will, it is very likely that the sword will be backlashed.

Everyone praises Qinglian as a peerless sword, but no one knows that it has such a dark past.

Master once warned me to use it well. I was worried that it would go out of my control and start killing, so I returned it to the scabbard and ordered in a cold voice:

"Qinglian, stop for a while!"

It may be that Qinglian just wiped out the heaven and earth net of ancient fairy artifacts of the same kind. Even after being sent back to the scabbard by me, it kept clanging, and was about to escape from the scabbard. Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang left a word of farewell and got up to leave.

Not far away, Di Renjie helped the injured Li Yuanfang up, and Li Yuanfang asked:

"Master Di, that Qinglian Sword..."

It's really scary:
"Are we still chasing?"

Di Renjie looked at Li Bai's leaving back, and thought deeply:

"This plan is far more difficult than I imagined."

"Master Di, what is the plan?"

Li Yuanfang was puzzled.

"The less you know, the better."

Di Renjie's serious tone rang in his ears.
