Chapter 2526 Going to Beijing!

There are several swords in Lihua Xiaoxie at this moment. These are just ordinary swords made by Wang Yue in modern times. They are all precious swords at this time.

In fact, when Zhao Jian left early, Wang Yue also gave one to Zhao Jian. As for the other disciples, he certainly would not treat them unfairly.

In fact, the reason why Wang Yue gave Zhao Jian a sword was entirely because Zhao Jian felt that the Li family had given a gift for becoming a disciple, so she also wanted to give Wang Yue an additional gift for becoming a disciple, which was to ask the person who picked her up to leave a few horses for Wang Yue.

Horses were very valuable at that time. Wang Yue felt that Zhao Jian really recognized him as his master. He had to give Zhao Jian an entry gift. Otherwise, it would seem that he was too stingy.

Because of this, Wang Yue took out a modern processed sword and gave it to Zhao Jian, but he felt embarrassed to accept so many horses.

After Zhao Jian received Wang Yue's sword, he couldn't help but play with it for a bit. He found that the sword flower was very good, so he excitedly said to Wang Yue, "Master, the gift you gave me is too valuable. I will give you another gift when I go back. You wait for my surprise."

Wang Yue didn't take Zhao Jian's words to heart. He smiled and said, "I'm your master. Giving you a sword to protect yourself is what I should do! You should go back and take a look. If there is anything you can't handle, send me a message in time and I will go to help you."

Zhao Jian didn't understand why Wang Yue said that, but he still agreed and left with his men.

After seeing Zhao Jian off, Wang Yue pondered for a moment before taking out three more swords and placing them under the corridor, so that they could be used for future sword practice.

But on the first day after it was hung up, one of them had already been taken away by Le Shan.

Le Shan had initially only used it to practice sword skills, but after using it, she realized how valuable the sword was and was reluctant to put it back. She also finally understood why her senior sister had given her a few horses but still required her to pay an additional gift as a disciple.

But Le Shan had nothing else in his hand, and he was reluctant to part with his sword, so he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Master, I will give you a gift later, so just wait."

What she said was actually just a blank check, and then she would slowly find a solution.

Wang Yue didn't care about this. After all, the Li family helped him solve the household registration problem, which was much more important than a few horses. Besides, Le Shan now had less than a hundred coins in his pocket when he went out. How could he afford a gift?
Le Shan probably knew that his ceremony of becoming a disciple would probably take a long time, so he felt very guilty. Instead, he was particularly diligent in front of Wang Yue, acting like a really caring disciple.

Now seeing that Li Zhi had taken him as his master, although he was only a registered disciple, Wang Yue still walked over, took out a sword directly, slowed down his movements, used the Xiaoyao Sword Technique once, and then did it again at a normal rhythm.

After the practice was finished, Wang Yue handed the sword in his hand to Li Zhi and said solemnly, "What I just taught you is the Xiaoyao Sword Technique, which is very suitable for your personality. You should practice it well."

Li Zhi was originally a palace guard, so of course he knew swordsmanship and the power of a sword. He could tell at a glance that this sword was extraordinary, and he also knew that the swordsmanship taught by Wang Yue also had a lot of Taoist influences, which made him recognize Wang Yue even more.

However, Li Zhi did not expect that he was just a registered disciple, but this cheap master would teach him such advanced sword skills. Therefore, after he thanked Wang Yue respectfully, he began to practice sword skills in an orderly manner.

Le Shan was not interested in Li Zhi's swordsmanship. She thought of a good way to ask her mother for a gift for becoming a disciple, which was to learn another skill. By chance, she saw Wang Yue teaching Li Zhi the formation, so she ran to Wang Yue and asked expectantly, "Master, my junior brother is learning both swordsmanship and formation. Can you teach me something else? I also want to learn another skill."

Wang Yue looked at Le Shan's cautious look and probably guessed what she was thinking. However, Wang Yue knew in his heart that given Mrs. Li's stingy nature, she probably would not give Le Shan any extra pocket money.

So Wang Yue said speechlessly, "Tell me, what do you want to learn?"

Le Shan had no contact with scholars since she was a child, so she didn't know the principle that a teacher is a father for life. She thought that there was a price to pay for learning anything, so she never expected that Wang Yue would not ask for the apprenticeship ceremony and would teach her something else.

However, due to the limitations of her thinking, she was still willing to take advantage of others. Seeing that Wang Yue was willing to teach her, she hesitated for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Master, what else can you do?"

Wang Yue saw that Le Shan was going to see what he could do and then choose from them, so he smiled and said, "Your master knows astronomy, geography, astrology, divination, medicine, ..."

As soon as Wang Yue got to this point, Le Shan interrupted him and said, "Master, I want to study medicine."

Although Wang Yue was disappointed to be interrupted, he could see that the girl seemed to be very interested in medicine, so he asked curiously, "Why did you want to learn this?"

Le Shan said a little embarrassedly, "Master, you may not know that women in the harem also face various dangers. If I can learn some medical knowledge, I will be able to help my sisters in the future."

When Wang Yue heard Le Shan say this, he admired her sisterly love and agreed with a smile.

He still took out a book from his arms and handed it to Le Shan, then said with a smile, "Studying medicine is actually very boring. You should memorize all the contents of this book first."

Le Shan looked at the medical book that was three fingers thick and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Others probably didn't have to memorize so much content for the imperial examination.

But she thought this was a test given to her by Wang Yue, so she said angrily, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely memorize it. You can't cheat when the time comes. You must teach me medicine."

Wang Yue looked at Le Shan's serious expression and said unhappily, "To study medicine, you must first learn the theory and then combine the theory with practice. So, this is a process for you to learn the theory. If you can't even pass the theoretical stage, then it's better not to study."

Seeing that what Wang Yue said made so much sense, Le Shan quickly ran to his little room with the medical book in his arms, lay down on his recliner and started reading.

However, she did try to talk to her mother about Zhao Jian's gift of a horse, which was actually a hint that her gift was a little too light. Unfortunately, her mother pretended not to understand, so she had no choice.

In the next few days, Le Shan and Li Zhi would practice sword together early in the morning, and then spend the rest of the time studying their own subjects. Their days were quite harmonious.

It’s just that Wang Yue’s imperial examination time was set there, so the time for going to Beijing in advance was also set, and the Li family finally said goodbye to their relatives and friends and went to the capital with Wang Yue.

Of course, with Li Zhi accompanying him along the way, Wang Yue was not lonely riding a horse. And Le Shan only sat in the carriage for a while, and she also rode out on a horse. Her pony was smaller, and if she happened to ride with a girl.

Of course, Leshan's pony was a gift from Li Zhi.

In fact, Li Zhi wanted to give Wang Yue some gifts at first, but unfortunately they were all rejected by Wang Yue. After all, he was not the official legitimate son, so it was inappropriate for him to accept them.

When Le Shan received the gift, she did not refuse it at all. She liked it very much and practiced every day. She actually learned the horse riding skills before setting off.

Along the way, probably because they saw that there were horses in the team and there were two young men carrying swords, the journey was very safe. Apart from the sidelong glances from passers-by, there was no danger at all.

What these people noticed was, of course, Le Shan. She was wearing a bright red riding suit and had the sword given by Wang Yue on her waist. She looked extremely heroic.

……

It was a coincidence that when they arrived at Zhuxian Town, southwest of Kaifeng City, they unexpectedly met another group of people getting off the boat.

Li Zhi was about to continue his journey to the capital with his team when he heard a shout from afar.
"Master!"

"Master Li Zhi!"

Hearing these two consecutive shouts, the Li family's carriage team stopped. After all, everyone came here together, and they couldn't just leave Li Zhi behind and go on their own.

Li Zhi looked in that direction and saw his servant Li Yu. He immediately realized that this guy might have gone to look for him somewhere else and just happened to come back at this time.

So he asked in confusion, "Fish, where have you been?"

The young master of Li Yu's family was very excited. He quickly ran to Li Zhi and said in annoyance, "Young master, you only said you were going to look for immortals when you went out this time, and didn't explain anything else. As a result, the old lady asked me to come out to look for you. If I can't find you, you are not allowed to go back. You don't know how hard it has been for me during this period of time. I have looked for you everywhere."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He obviously didn't believe Li Yu's words, so he asked uncertainly, "If that's the case, then why did you come back now?"

Li Yu knew the character of this young master, so he smiled and said, "Well, I'm going to the future young lady. I think if I follow the future young lady to the capital, the lady will not punish me severely even if she is angry."

When Li Zhi heard what Li Yu said, he immediately looked around nervously. He noticed that there was a carriage in the convoy that Li Yu had left earlier. He couldn't help but asked in a panic, "Did you go to Nanjing Prefecture School?"

Li Yu didn't expect that his master had guessed it so immediately. He muttered to himself, he still says he doesn't want to get married, but hasn't he already found out where the young lady lives?
He did not dare to expose his son, but instead laughed and said, "Sir, look at the carriages over there, that is the Cao family's convoy, they are entering the capital now."

Li Zhi didn't expect that what he worried about would come true. He was so scared that he almost fell off his horse. Then he said unhappily, "Isn't the wedding date still early? Why are you going to Beijing at this time?"

Li Yu felt helpless when he saw his young master saying such a stupid thing, so he shook his head and said, "It seems that he wants to go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother. I don't know why exactly."

Le Shan had been listening with her ears pricked up. After hearing the details Li Yu mentioned, she was surprised and said, "So she is my junior brother's future wife. I have to go and see her."

As she said this, she rode her horse towards the Cao family convoy in the distance.

The Cao family convoy had originally stopped there when Li Yu called out "Young Master". When they saw the young lady in red riding a pony coming over, they were all speechless.

Le Shan didn't care about that. She had been studying with Wang Yue these days, free from the constraints of her mother and sister. She was used to being free and her personality became somewhat unrestrained.

Since Le Shan wanted to see his future junior brother's wife, he immediately greeted her after approaching her, "I wonder if my junior brother Li Zhi's fiancée is in the convoy? I'm Li Zhi's second senior sister, and I want to come and see my future junior brother's wife. I wonder if I can take a look?"

The Cao family was still struggling with this. After all, a girl on a horse had arrived, and they didn't know her identity. Should they send a man or a woman to contact her?

After hearing Le Shan's words, a coach immediately opened his mouth, revealing a beautiful face.

The woman looked at Le Shan carefully and said calmly, "It's me. I don't look very old, so why am I the senior sister of Mr. Li?"

Seeing this young lady asking this question, Le Shan immediately realized that this girl must be her junior brother's wife. So, she asked the little pony to come to the sedan chair and said proudly, "You must be the one I'm looking for, because I became his disciple earlier than him, so he wants me to be his senior sister."

Cao Danzhu finally understood what was going on after hearing this. She glanced at Li Zhi who was riding on horseback in the distance, then smiled and said, "He and I haven't married yet, and he is a cultivator, so we don't know if we will get married in the future. So let's just talk about our own affairs. I'm older than you, so you can just call me Sister Cao. What do you call me Sister?"

After all, Le Shan was younger, and she felt that this sister from the Cao family was relatively kind and was very suitable to be her younger sister. Anyway, she, the second senior sister, was very satisfied with her.

So, she smiled and said, "Me! I'm the fifth child of the Li family. I have four older sisters. You can just call me Li Xiaowu from now on."

It was the first time that Cao Danzhu had seen such a free and easy and straightforward girl. She liked her and asked with a smile, "So that's the case. I wonder if the one above you is a senior brother or sister?"

Just as Le Shan was about to answer Cao Danshu's question, she heard the sound of horse hooves rushing towards her. She looked quickly and saw a fast horse rushing towards her in the distance, followed by several horses.
