Chapter 112 Yaoguang knows Pojun; a great harvest, reward and promotion

The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp and fell on Li Guanyi's face, but the young man's expression remained unchanged.

Old Xue shook his head, stretched out his hand and flicked the boy's forehead, saying unhappily, "If someone else had said that, I would have hit him with my Jade-Breaking Fist. You are just a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Of course I believe in Mr. Xue."

The old man was helpless and said, "You suddenly brought up this matter, I guess you have gained something, tell me about it."

Li Guanyi said: "The emperor also has an illegitimate child."

This sentence made the old man's eyes sharp instantly, and then he continued to drink tea. Li Guan said: "Mr. Xue doesn't seem surprised."

The old man replied, "If you live to my age, and you are not one of those martial artists who practice in seclusion in the martial arts world, you will have seen a lot of ups and downs. The current emperor likes to weigh the pros and cons, but throughout history, those who weigh the pros and cons either ascend to the throne and then settle accounts, or are bitten back."

"Just like clenching your five fingers, you must strike out."

"The key to weighing is that it is difficult to weigh. I used to think that he was always cautious, and his access to the throne was the result of weighing all parties, which is why he developed such a character. But I also doubt whether this is really the case, or whether he has some trump card hidden."

"Now that you're talking about this illegitimate child, everything makes sense."

Li Guanyi told the old man about Hou Zhongyu's affairs, but he hid the Qilin and his life experience. The old man said, "So that's how it is. On the surface, he is trying to sow discord between civil officials, military generals and relatives, but in fact he is gambling with his own offspring and wants to reap the benefits."

"It looks like he is still following the same path that he took to ascend the throne."

“It is true that experience shapes character.”

The old man looked at Li Guanyi and said, "It seems that Yue Qianfeng left you the Red Dragon Energy so that you can sense the flow and changes of the Red Dragon Energy and walk more smoothly on the second floor. Don't waste his hard work."

"As for the rest..."

A hint of sharpness flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said, "That is the battlefield for us old guys. Guanyi, you just rest here and leave the rest to me, the old man." The old man patted Li Guanyi, then placed the pill in his arms on Li Guanyi's desk and chatted for another stick of incense.

Xue Daoyong left with an angry and sad expression on his face.

The young man watched the old man change from being calm and solemn when he went out to being like this now, as if his own son had been hurt and his future was ruined. In an instant, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years.

The old man staggered out, and the white hair on his temples was blown up by the wind.

His right hand was clenched slightly, hidden under his sleeve, and he did not respond even when others called him.

It was only when he tripped over a stone on the side of the road that he came to his senses.

I was slow in responding to other people's questions.

A very subtle sadness, but real.

Li Guanyi was dumbfounded and stunned.

No.

These old guys have been roaming the world for many years and have unparalleled martial arts skills.

How come they are all so good at acting?
He watched the old man leave, then got out of bed, walked to the window, opened it, looked at the corner of the wall over there, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue is gone, come out."

The girl quietly popped her head out.

There was no expression on his face, and he glanced quickly left and right.

Then he jumped onto a large inverted water vat that Li Guanyi had placed there specifically, came down briskly, brushed the dust off his hands, went into Li Guanyi's room, sat there quietly, and only then did he feel at ease, holding the tea and blowing on it in small sips.

Li Guanyi said, "I didn't expect you to be so afraid of Master Xue."

Yaoguang replied: "He is very powerful."

"If you get close, my spells won't be able to have any effect on a warrior of his level. According to the files, when a warrior reaches this level, their intuition is like that of a god, and their spirits are bright and reflective of their dantian."

"The methods of the three secular sects have been greatly weakened."

"Their fate is like fire. Anyone who gets close will be burned. Most of the sneak attacks will be invalidated. Their intuition at critical moments is no weaker than that of the Yin-Yang School at the same level."

"At that time, warriors were almost holy in their physical bodies."

"The dragon elephant on the land, the King Kong in the world."

Li Guanyi asked: "Is Mr. Xue at this level?"

Yaoguang thought about it and shook her head: "I don't know."

She sat next to Li Guanyi, looked at the boy, and said, "You are injured."

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury."

Yaoguang stretched out her hands and covered Li Guanyi's palms. She brought his palms close to herself so that Li Guanyi could feel her breath. Yaoguang closed her eyes, as if she was praying. Faint starlight diffused and Li Guanyi felt a sense of clarity in his body.

The remaining hidden injuries hidden deep in the body began to recover.

After a full stick of incense had passed, Yaoguang opened her eyes.

She let go of his hand and said in a quiet voice, "I have combed your meridians for you. You should feel better."

Li Guanyi looked at the girl in front of him, hesitated, sat up straight, and said:
"Pojun and I have made a pact."

Yaoguang looked at him quietly, and said in a calm voice, "And then?"

Li Guanyi: "Your rules..."

Yaoguang thought for a moment and replied, "I said, I chose you. What binds us and Pojun's faction is not the agreement made eight hundred years ago, but the difference in our respective philosophies. We hope for a peaceful world, while Pojun wants to burn the world with flames."

"You and I have a destiny agreement. As long as you continue on the path of saving the world, I will not leave you. But if you really become a tyrant who ravages this world..."

Yaoguang stood up.

She walked to the opposite side of Li Guanyi and knelt down.

Her plain clothes and cloak fell quietly, and she looked at the young man in front of her calmly. Her voice was still calm as she said, "If you really have changed and want to massacre the city for your own kingship and tyranny."

"To kill innocent people."

"To indulge your desires."

"One day, when crows and birds are circling behind your cloak, and the bones of the people are under your horse's hooves, and behind your flag is endless blood and fire, then I will personally end your life."

"Because the White Tiger Sect I know would not do such a thing. When you swing your blade towards the people one day, it will be a symbol, a symbol that the person I follow has been devoured by desire and killing."

The girl reached out her hand and held Li Guanyi's hand. She said softly:

"You who promised me when we were young are dead. The king left behind is just a body that succumbed to the chaos of the world. The world is full of bones and people crying. That is not you. I will kill him, and then bring your body back to the place where we first met, and light a fire under the starlight of the White Tiger Seven Stars."

"I will turn into ashes with you in the flames, and then continue to look for you."

"So, if that day really comes, please stop in the sky and wait for me. I will come to find you. The burnt white ashes will be blown by the wind and fly to the world where you once walked in your youth. In the sky, the seven stars of the white tiger will still be bright."

Li Guanyi looked at Yaoguang in front of him, and he saw her gaze.

The girl's voice was calm, still like a stream, without the slightest ripple, and she said, "I have already told you my decision at that time. If you really fall and become a tyrant in the troubled times, please do not consider our past friendship and must kill me."

Li Guanyi smiled.

He suddenly became bold, leaned back and rested his head on the girl's knees.

The girl did not dodge.

He looked up at Yao Guang and said, "Is this the astrologer revealing the secrets of heaven?"

"Are you saying that even when I die, you will be behind me and won't leave?"

Yaoguang did not answer this time. She just reached out and rubbed Li Guanyi's brow. Then she thought of the file records and followed the advice of Yaoguang from eight hundred years ago. She reached out and pushed him off her knees.

The boy's head hit the ground, but he started laughing.

He lay there with his arms outstretched, laughing.

Looking at Yaoguang's calm eyes, thinking about the regent's affairs, he said confidently:

"I won't change!"

The high spirits of youth are always like this. He stretched out his hand, clasped his five fingers together, and said: "Even if one day I become like that, I will never hurt you. If one day Li Guan kills everyone in the world, he will not kill you." "So..."

Yaoguang replied: "Under this premise, I will never leave you."

She paused and said calmly:

"You can rest assured."

She revealed the reason why the young man in front of him talked about Po Jun's matter. It was just that Li Guanyi was worried that the girl in front of him would leave. He turned over and sat up, just scratched his head and laughed, without any heroic spirit.

The turbulent events in the court were far away from Li Guanyi.

He was just enjoying a rare rest, quietly recuperating his body, and his physique was further improved. After breaking into the second floor, he had not yet chosen a martial art, but Yue Qianfeng's red dragon energy and Dharma image made Li Guanyi's bronze tripod jade liquid perfect.

However, Li Guanyi did not immediately activate the bronze tripod to control the red dragon power.

He also needs the Red Dragon Power to deal with the various temptations that are bound to arise.

This trapped him briefly.

Unless there is some reasonable way to help him dissipate the Red Dragon Power, otherwise, don't even think about practicing martial arts in the short term. Li Guanyi closed his eyes and pondered, looking at the scenery outside. However, the next day, someone came to disturb his peace.

That night there was no doubt.

The son of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Night Cavalry was wearing casual clothes, with his hair tied up with a golden crown. He looked elegant and noble. After seeing Li Guanyi, he pursed his lips. He knew that this young man, who could knock down nine of them by himself, had Yue Qianfeng's Red Dragon Power injected into his body.

The future of martial arts has basically been ruined.

He can only stay in this realm for the rest of his life.

And the reason for this situation was to save him.

Ye Buyi felt more and more guilty. He bowed and said, "Ye Buyi, thank you Brother Li for saving my life!"

Li Guanyi grinned and said, "That's not necessary."

The young man kept his expression tense and said calmly:
"It's just my duty. You don't have to feel guilty."

"Wouldn't you have saved me if I was captured?"

Li Guanyi's words were like a second sword piercing into Ye Buzhi's heart.

Ye Buyi's face was filled with guilt and confusion. He murmured:

"It is my duty..."

Ye Buyi remained silent. He reached out his hand, took out a box from his bosom and stuffed it into Li Guanyi's hand, saying seriously: "This is an 800-year-old dragon blood ginseng. Take it. It should help your injuries. Even if you can't practice higher internal energy, you can become a top master by tempering your body."

"You saved my life."

"If I have something from Ye Buyi, I will have half of it from you. Until you succeed in tempering your body, Ye Buyi is willing to collect all the elixirs you need for you."

Eight hundred year old dragon blood ginseng? !

The corner of Li Guan's eye jumped, and he swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come out.

He used to be a pharmacist and knew medical skills. Legend has it that this dragon blood ginseng was formed when a strange beast with dragon blood died on a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng. The mountain ginseng absorbed the dragon blood and then turned into dragon blood ginseng. It took another eight hundred years for such a huge treasure to be created.

It can strengthen qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, and ordinary people can gain great strength after eating it.

Warriors can also temper their bodies.

When Ye Buyi saw that he accepted it, his twisted heart finally felt better.

After staying for a while, he said goodbye. After he left, Li Guanyi hadn't been quiet for a while before someone else came. It was Zhou Liuying, who was the first to provoke, and then loved the bench, and said: "Good brother, let's not talk about it. Among our Jinwu Guards, you are this!"

He made an awesome gesture.

Then he took things out of his arms and put them on the table one by one, saying, "This is a thousand-year-old mountain Ganoderma lucidum, and this, this is the medicinal wine hidden by my father. I exchanged it for old liquor. The old man is reluctant to drink it, so it will definitely not be discovered. You drink it quickly."

"If I drink it, I'll die without any evidence. At worst, my brother will be hung on a tree and beaten with his gold buckle. I'm the only child in his family, and the old man can't kill me."

"And this, this is amazing, this is the Heart Protecting Pill..."

Li Guanyi didn't know how this guy could fit so many things in his robe.

Full to the brim.

Zhou Liuying, who had been at odds with Li Guanyi before, now acted like a brother who knew each other for life and death. He gave the biggest promise a playboy could make and said, "Take good care of yourself. I don't believe that all these medicines can't withstand a burst of energy!"

"When you recover, the brothers will take you to the best brothel in the capital to welcome you!"

"Brother, I'll pay for you to get an Oiran to drink with you!"

Ye Buyi stretched out his hand from outside the door.

He grabbed Zhou Liuying's collar and dragged the playboy away.

After Zhou Liuying left, the young men of the Jinwu Guard came up one by one, and none of them came empty-handed. In just a short while, Li Guanyi's room was filled with precious pills here and medicinal materials there. It was almost like a treasure house, full to the brim.

And every one of the empire's top military heroes came here with great enthusiasm.

They are still young people, and the friendship is not that of a materialistic one.

We have fought together and been punished together.

Although one was upstairs and the other was riding a horse to the Taoist temple, they still drank together.

Their friendship is as deep as life and has not been washed away by the torrent of this secular world. Their feelings towards each other are very genuine. Not to mention that they regard Li Guanyi as one of their own brothers, they also implicitly regard him as a core member of this group of children of military honors.

Li Guanyi was a little dazed for a moment when he looked at so many things.

………………

Not to mention that some of the military heroes were almost beaten by their fathers when they returned, and they were even more unable to get out of bed than Li Guanyi.

The people in the imperial city have been in a panic these past two days, and martial law has been particularly severe. Prime Minister Tan Tai Xian Ming stayed in the palace overnight yesterday to handle government affairs, and just returned today. He changed into his official uniform and returned to his study. He was slightly startled to see the old man sitting there.

Tan Tai Xian Ming looked at Xue Dao Yong, lowered his eyes, did not move, and continued walking forward.

He sat on the chair next to Xue Daoyong and said, "Brother Xue."

He had sent the assassins from Guan Yicheng to kill Xue Daoyong, but he remained calm at this moment. He brought a stack of peanuts and two glasses of wine. Xue Daoyong only said one sentence: "The emperor has an illegitimate child."

Xue Daoyong looked at his former friend and brother.

I didn't drink the wine he handed me.

Having said this, he left.

Tan Tai Xian Ming no longer had the flattering smile he had in the palace. The old man sat in a chair, curled up, clinking glasses alone. After finishing his drink, he looked into the distance and took out a memorial, which stated how the matter should be handled this time.

There is a line of insignificant text in it:

[The Qilin Palace Jinwu Guard failed to report, relied on his own courage and coveted credit, acted rashly, and missed the opportunity to fight. He fell into a trap, and Yue Qianfeng threatened him to escape. He also did not stop Hou Zhongyu. He should be dismissed and investigated to see if he was involved with Hou Zhongyu.]

Tan Tai Xian Ming picked up Xue Dao Yong's wine glass with his right hand and drank, and picked up the pen with his left hand to write again.

[The Qilin Palace Jinwu Guards held on alone, and their own strength prevented Yue Qianfeng from joining Hou Zhongyu. Hou Zhongyu lost his support and died from the Qilin Fire, but the Qilin was never lost. The Jinwu Guards fought hard against Yue Qianfeng and made great contributions. They should be rewarded as an exception to reassure everyone.]

He finished two glasses of wine and threw down the pen in his hand.

The same thing was turned around in an instant.

The pen of the scholar, the sword of the warrior!

That afternoon, people from the palace arrived at the Xue family.

"Captain Li, the imperial edict has arrived!"

"His Majesty personally wrote this seal!"

"You got a promotion!"
