Ke Ruan went to Yangzhou the next day.

Linghu Shang is temporarily staying in Yangzhou at this time.

For Ke Ruan, no matter what Linghu Shang's purpose is, she will solve this matter.

The worst result is just a fight, and then one of the two dies.

Linghu Shang's place is easy to find, especially when he doesn't deliberately avoid Ke Ruan, Yangzhou City is Qixiu's sphere of influence, and Qixiu is very clear about any disturbance in Yangzhou.

Linghu Shang, the number one swordsman in the Western Regions, arrived in Yangzhou. No matter what, at least Xiufang knew where he lived.

Seeing Ke Ruan coming alone in blue clothes, Linghu Shang couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "I thought Yedi would stick to you."

Ke Ruan said: "This matter doesn't need him to solve it."

Of course Linghu Shang was very happy that Kalubi didn't come.

To be honest, Kalubi was really an eyesore for Ke Ruan by his side.

The two of them didn't talk about common etiquette, Linghu Shang and Ke Ruan stood in a small garden, there were no stools or tables, this is not the principle of hospitality.

But Ke Ruan was very satisfied.

At least in places like the small garden, it is much easier to fight.

Ke Ruan said: "You didn't finish what you said yesterday, you just waited for me to come to ask. Now that I have come, you should also tell your purpose."

Linghu Shang frowned slightly: "You think I have malicious intentions?"

Ke Ruan said: "You have investigated my situation, so I naturally want to inquire about your affairs. Before coming to Yangzhou, you sent Su Mansha to An Lushan. An Lushan is not a loyal and virtuous minister. I know, you had a secret talk with him, I don’t know what you talked about, but do you want me to expect you to talk about good things that worry about the country and the people?”

The corners of Linghu Shang's lips curled up slightly: "I don't know if it's worrying about the country and the people, but it's indeed a good thing for you."

He took out a letter and handed it to Ke Ruan: "You can read it first."

Ke Ruan was a little puzzled, but still took it.

The letter was not sealed, obviously not for confidentiality purposes.

...Although putting it on Linghushang's body is enough to keep it secret.

This is a short letter, written by An Lushan to Linghu Shang, the date is still very new, just a few days ago.

And there is only one thing in this letter: "The things you asked me to do before have been done."

Ke Ruan looked back, suddenly he couldn't help but let out a cry, and said in surprise, "Fang Gan?!"

An Lushan is now very favored by the emperor, especially because he worked hard to get in line with the powerful officials in the court and even the emperor's favorite concubine, which made him have more say and influence in front of Emperor Xuanzong.

Now An Lushan has used his influence a little bit.

Fang Gan is known as the most extraordinary man in the world, but An Lushan aroused Xuanzong's interest, Xuanzong ordered to summon Fang Gan, and see what is so unusual about this most extraordinary man in the world.

After reading the short letter, Ke Ruan couldn't help looking at Linghu Shang: "What do you want to do?"

Linghu Shang took back the letter, shattered it with internal force, and then replied: "You are looking for a way to do it."

Ke Ruan's eyes suddenly changed: "Are you threatening me?"

Linghu said sadly: "The emperor issued an edict. When this edict is spread to the world, no matter where Fang Gan is, he must go to Beijing to face the saint. I am just helping you."

Ke Ruan smiled coldly: "Help me? You want to tell me that today you can let the emperor order Fang Gan to go to Beijing, and tomorrow you can let the emperor give me an order, but what can I do?"

So what if Fang Gan is the most extraordinary man in the world, so what if his martial arts are high?

Fang Gan only has one person, only a small Fang family on Penglai Island!

Xuanzong was the emperor, the ruler of the world. His subjects might disobey what he said casually. After all, Xuanzong was still an enlightened and magnanimous emperor. Most of the time, as long as he was reasonable, he would not be too harsh.

But once a clear edict is involved, it will be the majesty of the emperor, the face of the royal family, and the coercion of the entire Tang Dynasty!

Lu Weilou brought the Ming Cult of the entire heyday back then, and with just a few words from the emperor, Lu Weilou fled the Central Plains like a bereaved dog.

But how much power did Xuanzong use?

It's just a Tiance Mansion.

The Tiance Mansion does not represent the entire military strength of the Tang Dynasty, it can only be said to be a part of the military strength of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, Tiance Mansion was first established by Emperor Taizong. At that time, Tiance Mansion belonged to the staff organization. However, Taizong was a rare outstanding man of arts, governance and martial arts among the emperors of all dynasties. Tiance Mansion gradually became a military institution, but this military institution was not It is not used exclusively by the imperial court for external use. Its real function is to balance and manage the forces in the rivers and lakes.

The powers of the rivers and lakes will never want to confront the well-trained regular army. The military force of the Tiance Mansion is characterized by being small but refined.

Ke Ruan also mistook Tiance Mansion for the country's foreign regular army before, but in fact, it was only when he came to this world that he realized that this was not the case at all.

But that's right, except for the stupid emperor with an IQ of less than five in the past, it seems that no emperor would brainstorm to build an elite army spanning multiple fields, with a wide range of authority, a large number of people, and excellent equipment. The responsible Palace Master, that is, the position of Li Chengen, even if there is such an organization, it must be distributed among multiple people, and then directly responsible to the emperor, so there is no need to think about the Palace Master.

...Besides, even if the dragon chair under the butt is not considered, the equipment and training are free!

So Tiance really doesn't have many soldiers.

For Tiance, quality is more important than quantity, and guarding the gate of the country is not the top priority of Tiance, after all, one of the main purposes of its establishment was the world.

Therefore, Tiance Mansion can be said to be a power that is half imperial court and half rivers and lakes. It is both an imperial court institution and a martial arts sect.

And it was such an institution that beat Mingjiao out in minutes.

Of course, the Shaolin monks also contributed here, and this matter involves industry competition, not to mention for the time being.

Say it back and do it.

Ke Ruan can fully imagine that Fang Gan has nothing to resist, because if he resists, it will not be him alone, but the entire Fang family in Penglai.

So what about high martial arts?

Lu Weilou has completely proved it with actual practice. When dealing with violent state agencies, martial arts are nothing!

Of course, there are many people in modern society who dare to go abroad after committing crimes in their own country, but these days, Datang is a veritable heaven.

So no matter how proud Fang Gan is, no matter what martial arts he has, if Xuanzong wants him to go, he can only go.

If Fang Gan is like this, how can Ke Ruan be as good as Fang Gan?

So for Linghu Shang's help, Ke Ruan could only sneer.

Linghu Shang looked at her.

The woman in front of him was someone he used to be familiar with, but she had a strange appearance.

It is undeniable that Ke Ruan is beautiful, but unlike the sweet fruit with dew hanging on the branches back then, she is now like a sharp sword.

A sword that is sharp enough to compete in the world and aspire to the top.

Linghu Shang slightly closed his eyes: "Back then you didn't even have the courage to fight me head-on, so you could only come up with such a way to achieve your goal, so what about today?"

Ke Ruan said: "Back then I was afraid of death, but today I am no longer afraid. Besides, I may not be the one who loses."

"Very good," Linghu Shang said, "Since you brought your sword, you can draw it now."

Ke Ruan thought for a while and said, "Are you trying to put an end to everything?"

Linghu said sadly: "The Western Regions are different from the Central Plains. The Western Regions believe in the strong. What's more, I really wanted to kill you back then."

Although if Ke Ruan really appeared in front of him at that time, whether he would be able to do so is another matter.

but……

"If you win me, everything will be as you wish, if you lose..."

Ke Ruan interjected: "The loser is not qualified to speak."

Linghu Shang glanced at her, a little surprised that she would say such cold words, but still nodded: "It seems that you already understand."

Linghu Shang's sword is already in hand!

He couldn't express the complicated emotions in his heart. In fact, he knew very well that the "A Ruan" he admired in his childhood was probably no longer there.

Even if Ke Ruan stood in front of him.

But one is the morning dew on the petals, and the other is the gleam on the blade.

How much can people change in nine years?

People like Linghu Shang are not good at dealing with emotional matters, so he only came to one conclusion in the end.

The swordsman's affairs can only be solved by the swordsman's method.

But Ke Ruan asked at this moment: "If I kill you, will An Lushan avenge you?"

Linghu said sadly: "Are you worried about him or what Fang did? Since I have done those things before, I just want to tell you that no matter what the outcome is, what has happened will not change."

The emperor's decree has already been issued, and there is no reason to change it.

Facing Linghu Shang's words, Ke Ruan's lips curled up slightly: "Who cares about Fang Gan? What I want to say is that if you die, An Lushan will be the next one I want to kill!"

"——!!!"

Linghu Shang suddenly looked at her: "You——!"

Ke Ruan said: "So you'd better not be merciful, otherwise your good righteous brother may have to die. You know, if I want to kill him now, he will die in my hands sooner or later."

Linghu Shang took a deep breath: "Why?"

He didn't understand that he was the one who was involved with Ke Ruan back then, if Ke Ruan really wanted to kill someone for some reason, then he should be killed too, and what does it have to do with An Lushan?

Ke Ruan said: "Because you are just a person from the rivers and lakes, and he is an ambitious minister, since you understand why Fang Gan can't disobey the emperor's order, you should understand the truth of my words."

Linghu said sadly: "Can Qixiu bear the crime of killing a senior court official?"

Ke Ruan said: "If you die, I can naturally use your identity to kill him."

It was only then that Linghu Shang remembered that the other party was also good at disguise.

Moreover, Ke Ruan's martial arts are also quite different from the seven-show martial arts routines that most people are familiar with today. If she wants to kill someone as someone, non-top swordsmen will not be able to see the difference.

It is difficult for Ke Ruan to understand the relationship between Linghu Shang and An Lushan, but judging from what happened later, there is no doubt that Linghu Shang has deep feelings for An Lushan.

Everything he did during the Anshi Rebellion was not so much for power and status, or anything else, but most of it was for Anlu Mountain.

So when Ke Ruan said that she wanted to kill An Lushan, Linghu Shang had no way out.

But at the moment when Linghu Shang was about to make a move, Ke Ruan suddenly took several steps back: "Wait!"

Linghu Shang frowned and looked at her.

But Ke Ruan took out a few things and handed them to him: "I think, return these things to you first, so that I will be more confident when I hit you."

Linghu Shang stared at the thing in her palm and was stunned.

Those were exquisitely crafted accessories with obvious western style, exactly the same as what Linghu Shang is wearing now.

In other words, this is exactly what Ke Ruan took away from him back then.

Linghu Shang's eyes were complicated: "This is..."

Ke Ruan said: "Gold and gemstones are also quite valuable, not to mention that your things are so well made, it seems inappropriate to just throw them away."

So she stuffed it in her backpack.

Linghu Shang looked at her, his tone could not be as murderous as Ling Ran before: "Ah Ruan, these... have you kept them all this time?"

Ke Ruan: "..."

Wait, are you misunderstanding something?

I just stuffed it in the corner of my backpack and forgot about it accidentally!

Ke Ruan met Shang Linghushang's eyes and remained silent.

... She shouldn't have suddenly thought of returning something!

[Ding, the hatred value of Linghu injury is cleared. 】

Ke Ruan: "——!!!"

Don't! ! !

The author has something to say: Ruan Ruan: I just want to know how much gossip Linghu Shang has read these years, and what kind of brain circuit is this! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
