Chapter 133 Dao Zuo Meets Mr. Yue 【Ask monthly ticket】

You must know that even if they met Sun Hong, they would also respectfully call out their parents, but they never thought that the situation would change so much in a blink of an eye.

Instead, after the initial shock, Xie Mengguang thought of something, his face became extremely ugly, he just looked at Li Huan and said in a trembling voice: "You...you are the commander of Jinyiwei, signed by the governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion. matter, imperial envoy Li Huan?"

Meng Guang was able to tell Li Huan's mission in one breath, but it was thanks to the relationship channel of the academy. It can be said that every three to five days, there will be old friends and friends in the court who will tell the important events that happened in the court and then tell them what happened in the court. Inform these former colleagues in the academy by means of letters.

And Meng Guang had only read the news from the capital not long ago, including the news that Li Huan was appointed as an imperial envoy to Fujian to investigate the case.

When Li Huan blew himself up about his name earlier, Meng Guang never associated Li Huan's name with Li Huan, the Jinyi guard who was famous in the capital.

After all, in Meng Guang's knowledge, Li Huan was ordered to inspect the southeast, and he had been away from Beijing for nearly a month. He was afraid that the imperial guards of honor had already arrived in Fujian, so how could he appear in their Kaifeng mansion, which is thousands of miles away from Fujian.

Li Huan glanced at Meng Guang indifferently and said, "Oh, I never thought that Meng Jiaoxi also knew Li's name!"

Meng Guang's expression was extremely ugly, and he tried his best to keep calm. He just looked at Li Huan and said, "Didn't you go to Fujian to investigate the case? Why did you appear in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Li wanted to enjoy the scenery of the world along the way. I have heard the name of Songyang Academy for a long time, and I specially invited Mr. Wang, the supervisory censor, to come here. I never thought..."

Meng Guang calmed down after a while of buffering. Although he was still a little flustered, he was not as scared to death as Sun Hong, the magistrate of Dengfeng County, was on the ground.

Saluting to Wang Yangming, Meng Guang said: "I never thought it would be in person with Mr. Wang, the Supervisor of Censors. Meng was rude, please forgive me."

Wang Yangming arched his hands slightly.

At this time, Meng Guang said to Wang Yangming: "Since it is Mr. Wang in person, why not let Meng accompany Mr. Wang to enjoy the scenery of the academy together."

Meng Guang remained somewhat polite to Wang Yangming, but turned a blind eye to Li Huan, obviously not taking Li Huan to heart.

Thinking that when he became an official, Emperor Xiaozong was still in power, and how many officials in the civil official group would take Jinyiwei to heart. Obviously, Meng Guang's knowledge of Jinyiwei was still in Xiaozong's period.

Even though he knew from the correspondence between his old friends in Beijing and China that Jin Yiwei had a ruthless Li Huan, but in Meng Guang's knowledge, he obviously didn't think Li Huan could do anything to him.

On the one hand, he did not break the law, and on the other hand, he did not do anything to Li Huan. In this Songyang Academy, a sacred place of culture and education, Li Huangui is an imperial envoy. Can it be said that he can be framed out of thin air?

As for whether offending Li Huan will affect his official career, he has already retired, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about it.

That is to say, there is nothing to want, nothing to ask for, so after straightening out the mentality, the nervousness and fear that had arisen from the sudden knowledge of Li Huan's identity naturally disappeared.

Li Huan waved his hand, motioning for Chen Yao to lead someone to take Sun Hong aside, while his eyes fell on Meng Guang.

"So Mr. Meng doesn't welcome Mr. Li to visit the academy?"

Meng Guang was neither humble nor overbearing, and under Li Huan's gaze, he said calmly: "Songyang Academy is a private academy, so what if Master Li is an imperial envoy, I don't welcome Songyang Academy!"

The rest of the scholars opened their eyes wide at this moment, and looked at Meng Guang with admiration. They only felt that Meng Guang was able to reject an imperial envoy without being humble, what a character it was.

In particular, Li Huan's identity is still Jinyiwei. The eyes of these scholars are shining, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood. If they can refuse Li Huan to enter the Songyang Academy today, then it will inevitably spread all over the world. , praised by Shilin.

Thinking of this, Jinyiwei and imperial envoys all became less scary. These scholars puffed up their chests to stand in front of Li Huan and the other Jinyiwei. Just look at the excited expressions on the faces of these scholars. You can tell what is going on in these people's minds.

Wang Yangming also had a look of astonishment, apparently he did not expect them to reveal their identities, and this Meng Jiaoxi was so stubborn that he only invited him to enter the academy, but kept Li Huan out of the mountain gate.

With a sigh, Wang Yangming knew that this time he might not be able to be kind. Based on his understanding of Li Huan, from the previous conversation, he could see that Li Huan did not have a good impression of Songyang Academy.

With Meng Jiaoxi's attitude this time, if this matter is left alone, then it is impossible for Li Huan to win such a big name in Beijing.

Looking at Meng Guang with a half-smile, Li Huan said calmly: "It seems that Meng Jiaoxi really forbids Li from entering Songyang Academy."

Meng Guang was wearing a green shirt and waved his long sleeves: "Private places are not welcome!"

The rest of the scholars were very excited and shouted together: "Private places are not welcome!"

Seeing this, Chen Yao couldn't help shouting angrily: "Even the imperial envoys dare to stop you. I think you are crazy."

Li Huan waved his hand, but his eyes were on Sun Hong, the magistrate of Dengfeng who was almost paralyzed by fright.

Compared with Meng Guang and other scholars, he, Sun Hong, ordered someone to put shackles on the imperial envoy. What kind of crime is this?

To put it into a big way, it is a crime of disrespect to the emperor. Losing an official is even a minor crime. If Li Huan, the Jinyi guard, is more cruel and ruthless, and throws him directly into the imperial prison, his life may not be saved.

"Sun magistrate, right?"

Hearing Li Huan's voice, Sun Hong, who was desperate in his heart, seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw. He suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Huan with bright eyes and nodded again and again: "Sun Hong, the next official, has eyes but no eyes. Please forgive me, my lord." sin!"

Li Huan waved his hand, and immediately supported Sun Hong's two Jinyi guards to release Sun Hong, and Sun Hong, who had regained his freedom, couldn't help but kneel down in front of Li Huan with a plop.

Li Huan looked at Sun Hong, and said slowly with his hands behind his back: "Magistrate Sun, let me ask you, if my imperial envoy remembers correctly, this Songyang Academy was run by the imperial court strictly. Academies are established in strict places, and Songyang Academy has been banned and destroyed several times..."

Sun Hong kowtowed repeatedly after hearing the words: "My lord is right, my lord is right. According to the imperial court's law, private academies are forbidden in the world. If students want to learn, they have their own official schools. If they can be high school talents, the imperial court will also give them a monthly subsidy, too. The Emperor Zu is extremely generous to the scholars of the world."

The conversation between Li Huan and Sun Hong was naturally heard by Meng Guang and a group of scholars, and the complexions of these people changed drastically.

Few who can become scholars are fools. It is impossible for them not to understand the meaning of Li Huan's words. It is precisely because they understand what Li Huan means that they can show panic.

Meng Guang yelled at Li Huan almost instinctively: "Li Huan, Songyang Academy is famous all over the world. you……"

Li Huan just glanced at Meng Guang lightly and said: "The imperial court strictly opened private academies. Since Meng Jiaoxi was an official of our Ming Dynasty, doesn't he know this?"

"you……"

Meng Guang couldn't help pointing at Li Huan angrily, but he couldn't argue for a while, because what Li Huan said was all the truth, and there was a clear rule early in the Ming Dynasty that private academies were not allowed.

Although this rule has long been regarded as a falsehood, everyone has not taken it to heart.But if you don't care, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

As long as there is a regulation, it is fine when it is not used in daily life, but once someone uses this regulation as an argument, it is a real legal basis.

Just like now, Li Huan's just one sentence directly left Meng Guang speechless, unable to refute.

Ignoring Meng Guang any more, Li Huan just looked at Sun Hong and said, "Sun Zhixian, as the magistrate of Dengfeng County, a local parent official, do you know that this Songyang Academy is running a school illegally and blatantly violated the emperor's holy will? ?”

Sun Hong's body softened and almost collapsed on the ground. He didn't expect Li Huan to buckle such a big hat.

He is just a small magistrate, but he can't bear such a heavy scapegoat.

Immediately, Sun Hong shouted: "Your Excellency, it is clear that the Songyang Academy was rebuilt in the reign of the first emperor, and the Songyang Academy has already existed since the time when the lower official took office. The matter of the Songyang Academy has nothing to do with the lower officials."

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Meng Guang said to a scholar in a low voice: "Quickly go and invite all the professors from the academy to come, and tell them that it is a matter of the survival of my Songyang Academy."

The scholar's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, and he stumbled into the depths of the academy.

Li Huan and the guards in Jinyi naturally noticed the actions of Meng Guang and the scholar, but no one intended to stop them, even Li Huan was quite looking forward to seeing what kind of person the courtyard is here.

Here, Li Huan asked Sun Hong about Songyang Academy. From Sun Hong’s mouth, Li Huan learned that Songyang Academy was slowly rebuilt not many years after it was banned last time, and it was not restored to its current state until the time of Emperor Xiaozong. heyday.

And according to what Sun Hong said, Songyang Academy occupies an area of ​​aurora, and even the nearby mountains and forests are included in the academy.

Li Huan frowned and said, "Oh, let me ask you, is the title deed of Songyang Academy under the name of the government or is it..."

Sun Hong hurriedly said: "My lord, the land occupied by Songyang Academy and the land deeds of the mountains and forests are all in private hands."

While he was talking, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and someone shouted: "There are still teachers here in the courtyard!"

A group of scholars looked over at the visitor, and saw more than a dozen figures approaching quickly. Although their hair was gray, they were all in good health. It was obvious that they had taken good care of themselves on weekdays.

The principal, Mao Wenli, was the former censor of Zuodu who became an official in the 12th year of Hongzhi. He can be called a high-ranking official.

The rest of the teaching status who followed Mao Wenli were not bad, and almost all of them were officials who had become officials.

At this time, Mao Wenli was full of surprise, before the person arrived, the loud voice came: "Who is it, who is going to destroy Songyang Academy, first ask the old man whether he agrees or not!"

As soon as the voice fell, Mao Wenli had already approached. When Wang Yangming saw Mao Wenli, he cupped his hands hurriedly and said, "Wang Yangming, the supervisory censor of the Inspectorate, pay my respects to Mr. Bo Ming!"

Mao Wenli was taken aback, glanced at Wang Yangming, and said thoughtfully, "Who are you, Wang Hua, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing?"

Wang Yangming hurriedly said, "It's my father."

Mao Wenli stroked his beard when he heard the words, nodded slightly and said, "No wonder the old man thinks you look like an old friend, never thought that you are the successor of an old friend."

As he said that, his face changed, and he looked at Wang Yangming coldly and said, "You are the one who wants to destroy Songyang Academy? Did your father teach you to trample on the place where the saints taught you?"

Wang Yangming smiled wryly, but now Li Huan said: "This old gentleman is the principal of Songyang Academy."

Mao Wenli glanced over Li Huan and the Jinyi guards around Li Huan, his face remained unchanged, and he said coldly, "Who are you?"

Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "I am Li Huan!"

Mao Wenli narrowed his eyes and said immediately: "Is it Li Huan, the emperor's eagle dog who killed brother Shi Haoshi?"

Li Huan frowned, and said calmly: "I don't dare to be an eagle and dog, but if you want to talk about Shi Hao who has a human face and a beast heart, and is not as good as an animal, then Li really led someone to search the house himself."

"Traitor, Shi Hao is fine. Brother Xie and Brother Liu, what crimes are there? They worked hard for my Daming all their lives, and they have been harmed by you when they are old."

Li Huan just sneered and said, "Are you questioning His Majesty's holy will?"

Mao Wenli couldn't help being taken aback, and immediately laughed and said, "Young man, you also want to give this old man a hat? I think you didn't know where you were when I was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

As Mao Wenli said that, his expression straightened, he looked at Li Huan coldly and said, "Songyang Academy is famous all over the world, and it is a holy place for our scholars. If you, Li Huan, dare to disturb this holy place, I will make you a bad name forever."

Li Huan looked at Mao Wenli with disdain and said, "If the old man has nothing else to say, then don't say any more."

As he said that, Li Huan said to Sun Hong, who was beside him: "Sun Zhixian, I ordered you to transfer servants immediately to destroy Songyang Academy for me..."

"You dare!"

The furious Mao Wenli shouted like an enraged lion, not only Mao Wenli, but also the dozen or so instructors who heard that Li Huan ordered the destruction of Songyang Academy one by one seemed to be passive. The son generally cursed at Li Huan.

Li Huan saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and sneered with disdain at the corner of his mouth, "Mao Wenli, if Sun Hong is right, you, Mao Wenli, account for as much as [-]% of the title deed of Songyang Academy. I'm afraid you're not defending the saint's culture and education for something, but protecting the money you earned from Songyang Academy."

As he said that, Li Huan stared at Mao Wenlin with a look of astonishment and said: "Let me do the math for you. To study in your Songyang Academy, not to mention that you need to entrust gifts to enter the academy, it only takes one year. Shu Xiu has a full 300 taels, and I will calculate based on the three to five hundred people enrolled in your academy, that is more than 500 taels of silver every year, and at least 3 taels of silver fell into the hands of your Mao Wenli."

Most of the scholars in the surrounding area had expressions of shock on their faces. Although a few hundred taels per person is not too much for them, but when there are many people, it is an astonishing number.

After hearing Li Huan's words, even Wang Yangming looked up at Mao Wenli with a strange look.

Mao Wenli was unceremoniously exposed by Li Huan, and immediately became angry from embarrassment: "Ignorant boy, how can the knowledge of a sage be priced with copper-smelling things? Is it wrong for the old man to charge Shuxiu?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "It's true to accept Shuxiu, but you shouldn't be so greedy, using cultural and educational matters as your means of making money, and putting on an incomparably noble appearance, it's really a bitch."

"you……"

Wow, Mao Wenli was so angry by Li Huan's words that he vomited blood and passed out on the spot.

Some of the other instructors avoided looking at Li Huan. Needless to say, those who dared not look at Li Huan probably occupied the title deed of Songyang Academy.

There were also a few people who looked at Mao Wenli who had passed out with unbelievable eyes. They were the few truly selfless teachers in this academy. The academy earns such an astonishing amount of money.

Ignoring the people in the academy who were in a mess because Mao Wenli passed out, Li Huan shouted at Sun Hong: "Didn't you hear what this imperial envoy said? Why don't you hurry up and recruit an officer for me? If you can't destroy the Song Dynasty before sunset today Yang Academy, Mr. Li doesn’t mind sending you to the Imperial Prison.”

Sun Hong swallowed with a grunt, nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll do it now, I'll do it now."

Standing under the plaque of Songyang Academy, Wang Yangming looked at Li Huan, and suddenly said: "If I hadn't been walking with you all the way, Wang would have thought you had planned it for a long time."

Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "It's just that these people are too greedy. If it is true that they are dedicated to running the school, teaching selflessly, and cultivating talents for the Ming Dynasty, then Li is not an unreasonable person."

Thinking that Mao Wenli had been in charge of Songyang Academy for more than ten years, and that the gold and silver property he obtained from Songyang Academy were worth no less than 30 to [-] taels. When Wang Yangming looked at Songyang Academy again, he suddenly felt in his heart that it might be nothing to destroy such an academy. It's a pity.

It has to be said that under the threat of being sent to prison, Sun Hong's work efficiency is still extremely fast. In less than an hour, the county government officials summoned hundreds of young and strong people from the surrounding villages.

These common people held axes, forks, sticks and other objects one by one, and gathered in front of Songyang Academy.

Sun Hong timidly approached Li Huan and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, are you really going to destroy Songyang Academy?"

Li Huan didn't speak, but just glanced at Sun Hong indifferently. Sun Hong was shocked immediately, and immediately turned around and shouted at the common people: "The imperial court has an order to strictly set up private academies. Today, I ordered you to destroy Songyang Academy. To serve as an example to others."

Mao Wenli, who had just been rescued by a group of people, hadn't heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Sun Hong's words.

In an instant, Mao Wenli shouted, "Li Huan, this old man is going to Beijing to sue you!"

The next moment, when a group of people rushed into Songyang Academy, Mao Wenli couldn't stand the blow and passed out again.

The people around here are obviously no strangers to the destruction of Songyang Academy. In more than a hundred years, Songyang Academy has been destroyed four times. When I was at Yang Academy, I brought back some past events such as books, pens and ink from Songyang Academy.

Songyang Academy has indeed repaired many buildings after these years of repairs, but if they are really destroyed, the speed is actually quite fast.

Hundreds of people worked together, and when the sun was about to set, the originally quiet and elegant Songyang Academy had become a ruin.

Seeing Songyang Academy turned into ruins again, many scholars showed a dazed look on their faces, while some teachers who had invested a lot of effort in Songyang Academy wanted to cry without tears.

Li Huan looked at Meng Guang and the others with a sneer and said, "How can you violate the court's laws at will, but with Li here, you will never think about rebuilding Songyang Academy."

After speaking, Li Huan said to Wang Yangming who was at the side: "Mr. Yangming, let's go back!"

Wang Yangming nodded slightly, glanced at those scholars, and followed Li Huan away.

Originally, Li Huan planned to visit the thousand-year-old temple, but after going through Songyang Academy, he lost interest.

Wang Yangming was also quite silent along the way, obviously the impact of today's incident had not been small on him, so naturally he lost interest.

A few days later, Li Huan, Wang Yangming and his party had already left Kaifeng Mansion, but the news spread that Songyang Academy was banned and destroyed by Li Huan himself.

As the news spread among scholars, Li Huan seemed to have become the public enemy of scholars all over the world.

In the capital, the urgent news reported by the fast horse was also transmitted to the capital from Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao was looking at the news about Songyang Academy reported by Jin Yiwei. At first, when he saw that Mao Wenli alone had made hundreds of thousands of money with the help of the academy, Zhu Houzhao looked extremely solemn, but as he continued to read, Zhu Houzhao gradually showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Especially when he saw that Li Huan ordered to destroy Songyang Academy in front of Mao Wenli and others and ordered the magistrate of Kaifeng to supervise it himself and not allow it to be rebuilt, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help clapping the case and applauded: "Okay, okay, to deal with these people, we should in this way."

As an emperor, he naturally didn't want any power beyond his control. The world's culture and education had its own official schools run by the imperial court, but any promising emperor would never sit back and watch private academies become popular.

Maybe one or two private academies can't affect the overall situation, but once the private academies become popular, it will definitely have a great impact on the official schools of the Ming Dynasty. Academy disciples are not natural party members.

Although Liu Jin, who was serving at the side, said that he did not deal with Li Huan, he praised Li Huan's actions again and again: "Your Majesty, Li Huan's move is very kind, and it can just severely hit the momentum of the civil servant group."

Recently, Liu Jin has suffered a lot from the civil servant group. Although he said that he has recruited some officials above the court to form the eunuch group headed by him, his strength is only above the court after all. Church, then it is really the world of civil servants.

This can be seen only by seeing that the New Deal he promoted was resisted and even tampered with by local officials.

For this reason, Liu Jin even dispatched eunuchs to the localities to monitor, but these eunuchs had different conducts, and it was fine to do things honestly when they went to the localities, but most of them took advantage of Liu Jin's power to grab money and things.

It is not uncommon for some servants to even cause a lot of trouble in the local area, and even be killed.

It can be said that because of the New Deal, Liu Jin really broke his heart, suffered all kinds of insults, and made it look like the world is an enemy.

Now that Li Huan suddenly came up with such a thing as banning and destroying Songyang Academy, and helped the emperor and Liu Jin relieve some of the pressure, it is no wonder that Liu Jin would praise Li Huan.

Zhu Hou took a look at Liu Jin and said, "Li Qing's move is likely to offend most of the literati in the world. The news from the Jinyiwei mentioned that the principals and teachers of Songyang Academy were all officials who had served in the imperial court in the past. There are so many connections, once the news comes, there will be as many memorials to impeach Li Qing as snowflakes."

Liu Jin sneered and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's just impeachment. Others may be afraid, but it's not the first time Li Huan has been impeached. Your Majesty just needs to stay in the court and ignore it. "

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, looked outside the imperial study room and said, "I don't know where Li Qing and his group are now."

After leaving Kaifeng Mansion, Li Huan and his party obviously increased their speed a lot, but within ten days they had already entered the boundary of Wuchang Mansion in Hunan.

Wuchang Prefecture is an important town in Hunan. In this era, with the help of a well-developed water system, coupled with its superior geographical location with the thoroughfare of nine provinces, it is adjacent to the south of the Yangtze River, and its commerce is quite developed.

Li Huan and his party had a lot of people, so it was obviously impossible for them all to gather together and go on their way, otherwise, the formation of hundreds of people would be too inconvenient.

Therefore, Li Huan divided the troops into three teams, among which a team of 200 Jinyiwei led the way, and a team of more than [-] people followed. As for Li Huan and Wang Yangming, they brought dozens of Jinyiwei in the middle.

On the quiet official road, there are very few pedestrians. Now that it has entered June, the weather is extremely hot. Under the scorching sun, people seem to lose most of their energy.

Li Huan and Wang Yangming were sitting in the middle of the carriage, as the carriage shook, they were also mentally tired, let alone having no interest in playing chess.

Suddenly, a rush of horseshoes was faintly heard from the official road behind. This sudden movement couldn't help but cheer up the entire team of dozens of people.

When Li Huan heard the movement, he couldn't help raising the curtain of the car and looked outside. When he saw the direction from which the movement came, he couldn't help raising his brows.

In the line of sight, a middle-aged man dressed in a green shirt, with a beautiful beard, a handsome appearance, and an elegant demeanor of about thirty is galloping on a horse with a dignified expression.

The reason why Li Huan became interested was because the other party held a sword in his hand. He had the refined air of a scholar, but was quite different from a real scholar. Li Huan had never seen such an aura.

The man with the appearance of a scribe drove his horse and galloped all the way, as if he was escaping from something. Suddenly seeing Li Huan and his team, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Immediately, he seemed to have recognized the brocade clothes and guards of Li Huan and his party. The scribe narrowed his eyes, showing a bit of fear, and took the initiative to withdraw his gaze, and drove his horse past Li Huan and his party on the grass beside the official road.

Not only Li Huan, but also Wang Yangming took a few glances at the scribe as he galloped past, his eyes showed a bit of surprise, and said softly: "It's so thick and pure inside! Is this person a member of the Taoist sect? "

Li Huan couldn't help but glanced at Wang Yangming and said, "Mr. Yangming can actually tell which family's kung fu this person is practicing?"

Wang Yangming smiled slightly when he heard the words: "What's so difficult about this? Taoism pursues tranquility and nature, and the human temperament of practicing exercises often gives people a sense of elegance and elegance. Buddhism pays attention to compassion, and most of the Buddhist exercises give people the feeling of compassion." That literati's temperament is elegant and elegant, nine out of ten he has practiced a profound technique that combines the essence of Confucianism and Taoism."

Li Huan nodded and said: "I don't know where this person came from. He has such a high level of cultivation at such an age, he must be no ordinary person."

But Wang Yangming said with a smile: "The world is so big, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many hermits and high-ranking people. We can't meet one and ask the bottom of it to find out the origin of the other party."

Chen Yao, who was following the carriage on horseback, heard the conversation between Li Huan and Wang Yangming and couldn't help but said, "That person looks like a man from the Jianghu, and his looks are in a hurry. He couldn't be hunted down by some enemy."

Li Huan and Wang Yangming couldn't help being taken aback, they couldn't help but think of the scribe's reaction just now, it might really be what Chen Yao said.

And at this moment, there was another sound of horseshoes coming from behind, but this time the movement was obviously much louder. Just hearing the sound of horseshoes, one could tell that there were a lot of people coming.

Soon, a dozen or so horsemen roared towards them amidst a cloud of smoke and dust. These people were full of evil spirits, each holding a weapon, especially these people were wearing veiled bamboo hats to cover their faces, so they were not easy to provoke.

Li Huan clearly heard someone among the dozen or so riders exclaim: "It's a Jinyiwei!"

The leader clearly recognized the identities of Li Huan and his party, and said in a low voice with some fear: "Jin Yiwei, we are not afraid, but it is important to chase and kill that person at this time, and restrain yourself later. Don't provoke these people."

Although the voices of these people were very low and were even drowned out by the sound of horseshoes, they couldn't hold back Li Huan's clear ears and clear eyesight to hear them clearly.

The moment these people appeared, Chen Yao and the Jin Yiwei immediately took precautions and put their hands on the handle of the knife, but if there was anything wrong with these people, they would draw their swords out.

da da da da

The dozen or so knights obviously didn't want to provoke Li Huan and his party, so just like the scribes before, they took the initiative to go around to the grass beside the official road, speeding up and surpassing Li Huan and his party, and then galloped away, yelling. .

Seeing those people going away, Chen Yao withdrew his hand from the handle of the knife, and said to Li Huan, "It seems that that person was just trying to escape from this group of people."

Li Huan nodded slightly, but he was quite surprised in his heart, it's just that he didn't meet any good fighters in the arena, but he never thought that he would meet twice today.

That's all for that scribe before, although he didn't fight, but relying on his feeling, the other party's cultivation must be good, and even Wang Yangming praised him.

As for the group of people who just passed by, at least three of them gave him the same feeling as Chen Yidao, that is to say, among the dozen or so people in the group, at least two or three were first-rate players.

Wang Yangming stroked his beard, glanced at Li Huan and said, "Master Li is still thinking about those two groups just now, right? They are just people from the rivers and lakes who are not restrained by the court and have no law. Fayan."

Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Li has heard that there are many martial arts masters in the Jianghu.

However, Wang Yangming said with disdain on his face: "It's just a group of gangsters who have no laws. If they are all chivalrous and righteous, if they are like them, what's the use of the law and the court?"

Li Huan nodded, perhaps because of his different standpoints. In the eyes of Wang Yangming, who was born in a family of officials, the people in the Jianghu are naturally bandits who are not bound by the court. Moreover, these people often rob rich merchants and tyrants and assassinate the court by force. Commander, it would be strange if Wang Yangming had a good impression of these people.

Glancing at Li Huan, Wang Yangming couldn't help saying: "Perhaps there are real chivalrous men among those so-called people in the rivers and lakes, but after all, these people are beyond the rules of the Yu court. These people have too much intersection.”

Apparently, Wang Yangming was worried that Li Huan's young mind would become interested in Jianghu out of curiosity, which would cause unnecessary troubles.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and in the wilderness with no village in front and no shop behind, even Li Huan and the others had to find a dilapidated ancient temple to settle down.

The ancient temple was dilapidated, but looking at the traces left by the burning of many bonfires, it was obvious that this dilapidated ancient temple provided a lot of shelter for people who came and went.

With the busyness of the Jinyi guards, they quickly cleaned up the ancient temple and lit a bonfire.Li Huan and others took a rest in this ruined temple.
In the middle of the night, the wilderness was quite quiet, except for the occasional piercing cry of night owls from the distant mountains and forests.

In a daze, Li Huan suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, a gleam flashed in Wang Yangming's eyes, and the two of them looked outside the ancient temple.

Indistinctly, the sound of gold and iron clashing could be heard in the woods hundreds of meters away from the ancient temple.

"It seems that someone is fighting."

Li Huan couldn't help but think of the two groups of people he had seen during the day, and couldn't help feeling a little curious in his heart.

Since he was curious, Li Huan couldn't sit still, so he got up and called Chen Yao, cupped his hands at Wang Yangming and said, "Mr. Yangming, I'll go and see what's going on. I'll trouble Mr. Yangming to take care of it." Two."

Although he had never seen Wang Yangming make a move, Li Huan believed that with Wang Yangming around, even Fang Zheng and Chongxu's level might not necessarily be Wang Yangming's opponent.

Wang Yangming looked at Li Huan but did not dissuade him, he just cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency must be careful."

In the dense forest, several figures were surrounding a green-clothed scribe, and the green-clothed scribe held a sword in his hand and said with an angry face: "You chased and killed Yue for hundreds of miles. Why is it so hard to push?"

At Yue Buqun's feet, there was a dead body, apparently killed by Yue Buqun during the fight just now.

The leading man wields a big sword with a thick back, just like a big sword in the army. The sword is sharp and deadly.

The rest of them either used long swords, big axes, or copper sticks to cooperate with the big man to besiege Yue Buqun, and even fought back and forth with Yue Buqun.

Hearing this, the leading man attacked fiercely, his saber skill was superb, he was actually a good swordsman, otherwise he would not have been able to entangle Yue Buqun with the help of several helpers.

"Hahaha, Yue Buqun, don't you call yourself Junzijian? How about the prestige you used to pick up a dozen cottages?"

A stern look flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes when he heard the words, and said: "Your Excellency's voice is hoarse, and you obviously used a secret method to change your tone and cover up your face. If Yue is right, there must be someone who knows Yue among you. Why bother to play tricks, What are you talking about, if the cottage thieves really have the cultivation level of you guys, I'm afraid they won't get mixed up to the point where they become bandits."

Hearing Yue Buqun's words, the leading man was silent immediately, but his attack became more and more ruthless.

Yue Buqun's face was gloomy, but he got the news when he went down the mountain this time, intending to go to Fuzhou, Fujian.

Originally, he brought his eldest disciple Linghu Chong and his daughter Yue Lingshan with him, but he never thought that not long after leaving Huashan, Yue Buqun discovered that they seemed to be being targeted by a group of people.

At that time, Yue Buqun ordered Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan to go ahead, and stayed behind to investigate the details of their group.

It was just beyond Yue Buqun's expectation that the strength of this group of people was stronger than he expected. If they fought alone, no one would be his opponent, but these people were obviously good at combining attacks, so much so that he Fighting with the opponent several times, it was just barely beheading two or three people of the opponent.

Accompanied by a long howl, Yue Buqun's aura changed drastically, his originally elegant swordsmanship suddenly opened up and closed up, and the sound of gold and iron clashing could be heard from far away.

Li Huan was standing not far away at the moment, looking at the two sides who were fighting. When he heard that the identity of the scribe he saw during the day was actually Yue Buqun, Li Huan couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Although he had met Lin Zhennan and Lin Pingzhi before, he knew in his heart that this might be a world of pride, but he never expected that he would meet this famous gentleman, Mr. Jianyue, under such circumstances.

Looking at Yue Buqun, who still seemed to be able to do a job well under the siege of those people, Li Huan nodded slightly. As expected, Yue Buqun's strength was better than that of first-class experts, that is to say, these people have many skilled players and are good at combining attacks, otherwise don't say If he chased and killed Yue Buqun, he might be killed directly by Yue Buqun.

However, Li Huan just glanced at it, but he was puzzled. During the day, there were more than a dozen of these people, but now there were only a few people besieging them, almost half of them.

Could it be that those people were killed by Yue Buqun?

Just thinking about this, Li Huan suddenly frowned, and the sound of piercing suddenly came from the night sky.

Accompanied by the appearance of several figures, fierce arrows shot straight at Yue Buqun.
