Chapter 978 Escort
Li Congjia still brought good news to Li Jing, but in fact it just woke him up.Why do caravans from Yandao have to pay such high taxes through Tanzhou?They can bypass Tanzhou and go directly to Houzhou from Nantang.

Tanzhou was important to Southern Tang, but it was not a necessary place for Yandao. Yandao was rich and powerful enough to open another trade route.But if Yandao does this, the value of Tanzhou will almost disappear.And this matter is not difficult for Yandao.

Therefore, it is not that people who occupy Tanzhou can collect taxes from Yandao, but it depends on who the people in Yandao want to give the money to.It was obvious that Zhao Pu wanted to give the money to Li Hongmao, so Li Hongmao had Yandao's taxes in Tanzhou, and Yang Ying would not benefit at all even if he occupied Tanzhou.

After thinking about this problem, Li Jing decided to bring back the second child. This also let Yang Liuying know that Tanzhou was not the fat man he imagined.

…………

Li Hongji immediately rode a thousand-mile horse and rushed to Tanzhou with his large army. The happiest thing for him was to play with his second child. Everyone went to the brothel to drink flowers and wine, and then each found a few girls to go home and sleep , this life is enough.

Of course, the throne must still be in the hands of his family, there is no doubt about it.Without the emperor, there would be no such comfortable life as they are now.

However, Li Hongji also felt that it was not easy to be the emperor. Although he would inherit the throne in the future, he knew that he might not be able to sit securely and needed the help of the third brother Li Congjia.The third child, Li Congjia, was the most unlucky person, but he just couldn't have much affection with him.

Li Hongji also passed EZ on the way, and deliberately went to Wuchang Town Nanwang Mansion to find Yang Ying, and told Yang Ying his intention of coming. The subtext was that the second child was about to be taken over, and he had no reason to kill the second child.

Yang Ying was also very happy after receiving the news, because...During this time, Yang Ying received feedback from his subordinates. A young master came to Chu Palace, and most of the assassins they sent were killed by this young master. up.

Yang Ying was so angry that she stomped her feet and beat her chest, but when she received this news, she was naturally very happy, so she entertained the Prince of Southern Tang lavishly, and then personally sent Li Hongji on the road, hoping that he would quickly pick up Li Hongmao.

It took Li Hongji ten days to arrive in Tanzhou, and he was so tired that his whole body was limp.The martial arts practiced in these years have long been squandered, and Li Hongji's body is only slightly better than ordinary people.

Martial arts are also consumables. If they are only consumed, the martial arts that they practiced so hard in their youth will disappear sooner or later. Although they will not become ordinary people, they will definitely not be much better than ordinary people.

After arriving at the Prince Chu's Mansion, Li Hongji didn't need to be notified at all, and went straight in.Most of the guards of Chu Palace were brought from Jinling. The guards in front of the gate basically knew King Ji Li Hongji, so of course they didn't dare to stop them, so they could only follow behind.

When he came to the backyard of the Prince Chu's mansion, Li Hongji couldn't believe the scene in front of him.Li Hongmao's hands were tied behind his back, his upper body was naked and he was blindfolded.There was a Taoist priest holding a sword and slashing left and right. Li Hong dodged left and right reluctantly. Although he couldn't see, he still survived by feeling.

There are two people with swords next to them, who seem to be guards, but these two people are just slashing with swords, and have no intention of saving people at all. These two people may also be the assassin's disguised guards.

Li Hongji really didn't expect that the current assassins would be so arrogant, they would attack in Chu Palace, and it seemed that they could succeed, but they still wanted to play tricks.

Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise the second child's life would have been lost.

"Help! Help!"

Li Hongji yelled, and dozens of martial arts masters jumped out behind him, all rushing towards Tianya.Tian Ya was also taken aback, this group of assassins were too arrogant, they rushed directly into Chu Palace to kill?And brought so many people?This is no longer an assassination, it is simply a bandit who came to rob.

Of course Tian Ya would not be merciful to this kind of person, with a wave of the sword in his hand, the sword energy instantly enveloped the few people who rushed over. These people didn't even have a chance to be surprised, and they were instantly stabbed into a hornet's nest.

The surrounding air froze instantly. They didn't expect this little Taoist to have such a good swordsmanship, and this swordsmanship seemed to be... Dugu Man.

Most of the people present were locals from Southern Tang. Although the Dugu clan was no longer in Southern Tang, there were still many disciples of the Dugu clan, so no one was unfamiliar with the Dugu clan's swordsmanship.The sword just now was obviously Dugu Clan's Thousand Swords Style, Jian Wuying.

I have never seen this person before, and he is definitely not a person with the surname Dugu at his age, but how could a person with a foreign surname have such exquisite Dugu clan swordsmanship?The level of the sword that was stabbed just now was too high,
Although the martial arts of the few people who were killed just now are not too high, they are definitely not low. They belong to the middle level in Li Hongji's guard group.

The killing of one of them is not scary, but a group of people are killed, and it's an instant kill... No one dares to move, really no one dares to move.

Suddenly, a white shadow rushed out from behind Li Hongji, and the white shadow went straight to Tianya.The speed was so fast that no one could react.

Tian Ya is different from these people, he can see clearly that this is an old man, dressed in white, with white hair and beard, even his eyebrows are white.Although the rushing speed was fast, Tian Ya still had time to think.

'呯~~'

Everyone was still in shock, the two palms had already collided, and Tian Ya retreated five steps after fighting each other, while the old man in white stood motionless on the spot.

Tian Ya clenched his fist, the punch just now was really strong, and the opponent didn't use his full strength, which already made his arm numb.Fortunately, he was protected by the unique body protection qi in this world, otherwise Tian Ya's left hand could not be used temporarily with that palm just now.

Tian Ya immediately used his true energy to clear the tendons in his left hand, then threw away the sword in his hand and replaced it with a knife, ready to fight with all his strength.

Like Zong Xin, Tian Ya likes to play with swords, but they are not good at swordsmanship. Zong Xin's dragon-slaying sword skills are absolutely unique in the world.

…………

"Master, most of the martial arts I'm learning now are reckless moves supported by true energy and internal strength. What should I do if I encounter a first-class master whose internal strength is really strong, but the martial arts moves are not as good as mine?"

"Run! Do you still need me to teach you? How many times have I taught you, memorize all the life-saving tricks that Master taught you for the first time."

Tian Ya said depressedly: "Run away and beg for mercy and pretend to be a grandson, if you don't agree with me, you will be apprenticed to your teacher, if you still can't do it, you can directly ask your father to attack again."

"Isn't that enough?"

"Master, you haven't solved the fundamental problem. Is there any kind of move that can allow me to defeat opponents who simply have higher internal strength than me?"

"Nonsense, you know all the peerless martial arts in the world. Whose moves are more subtle than yours? If you have this method, wouldn't you be invincible?" Zong Xin said depressedly: "But your idea is still very good, don't It is said that people with higher internal strength than you, even if their internal strength is not as good as yours, but there are many opponents, and everyone has internal strength to fight violently, you will also suffer a certain amount of damage. In the end, you may not be the opponent of these people... The master has spent two days thinking of an absolutely good way for you to ensure that you will not lose to anyone in the competition of internal strength."

"Thank you Master."

………………

"Thank you, Master." Tian Ya thanked Zong Xin softly, then sheathed the knife he had just pulled out, and rushed towards the old man in white.

Of course, the old man in white would not be careless, and he was neither impatient nor greedy. After seeing Tianya's palm approaching, he used all his strength to greet it.

The two palms collided again, and Tianya was blown away as expected, but this time Tianya's whole body kept spinning, turning around and turning back, and then both palms blasted at the old man in white at the same time.

After all, the opponent is just a child. Even though his martial arts are strong, his lack of internal strength cannot be compensated by talent.The old man in white never refused to come, and he greeted him again with his powerful palms.

'呯~~'

The white-clothed old man was sent flying more than ten meters away, his chest almost spurted blood, but the white-clothed old man held back in the end and just looked at Tianya with a surprised face.

Tian Ya also clutched his chest and lower abdomen with an extremely painful expression.

"Master's semi-finished mental method is indeed extremely dangerous. If you don't use it as soon as possible, your chest and dantian will be broken, and you will almost go crazy... I should try to use it as little as possible in the future, and it is best not to use it anymore."

The old man in white was surprised: "What kind of martial art is this? The two palms just now are clearly the palm strength of the old man."

Tian Ya bravely said: "This trick is a semi-finished mentality that my master wrote on the spur of the moment. It's called 'Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun'. It is specially designed to deal with people with high internal energy like you. First absorb and transfer your internal energy, and then add With my kung fu blasting out at the same time, even you might not be able to bear those two palms just now."

"Sure enough, heroes come from young, you must not be an assassin." The old man in white had actually seen that Tianya was not an assassin. The reason why he took action was entirely because of itchy hands. When he saw such a junior with strong martial arts, he wanted to give him advice, but he did not expect the other party's The method is so clever, he has never even heard of this kind of "stealing the sky and changing the sun", and it is just a temporary idea written by his master, and it is still a semi-finished product...

If such a profound mental method can be completed, then the meaning of practicing internal strength will be reduced by half.But judging by his appearance, his master should not like this kind of mentality, because his master doesn't need...

Judging from the age of this little Taoist priest, he should be only 15 or 6 years old. It is unheard of for him to be able to practice martial arts so powerfully at this age.One can imagine how strong his master is.

Tian Ya nodded and said: "Of course I am not an assassin, neither are you..."

"Daoist Wu Yazi, what happened? Quickly untie my rope, is someone coming? I feel a strong wave of true energy." Li Hongmao didn't dare to speak or move just now, because he His hands were tied and his eyes were blindfolded.

Tian Ya used this method to train his ability to sense and react when he was suddenly attacked. After all, Tian Ya couldn't be Li Hongmao's guard forever, so Tian Ya hoped that he would have some ability to protect himself.Even if you can't beat the opponent, at least you have a chance to escape and survive.
