Chapter 232: All swordsmen in the world should enter the palace to drink!
When the white-haired Murong Longtu came back, he brought a pot of wine alone. It was not a good wine, but just a branch of spring in the south of the Yangtze River. What was rare and precious was that this wine could be bought here, which made Murong Longtu quite happy.

The old man poured himself a glass of wine and sat alone under the tree drinking facing the moon.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the gauze-like moonlight fell down. The old man's shadow fell in another place, and he seemed to be raising a glass. So this drinking by himself seemed to be a little more lively and enjoyable.

Li Guanyi was pulled over by Yaoguang. Except for her, no one else noticed this free and easy old man. The silver-haired girl behind Li Guanyi stretched out her hand and pushed him hard on the shoulder, asking the young man to go over there.

Yaoguang just stood there and motioned Li Guanyi to go over by himself.

The young man took the wine glass, walked over and sat next to Murong Longtu. The green-shirted swordsman laughed and said something to him, then asked Li Guanyi to sit down next to him as well. The old swordsman picked up the wine pot, poured a glass for the young man, and the two of them laughed and talked.

The silver-haired girl was standing some distance away from here.

She squatted under the tree, supporting her chin with both hands, quietly looking at the young man with grown eyebrows sitting there, watching Li Guanyi and Murong Longtu chatting and laughing, his eyebrows were calm, but there seemed to be a hint of plain sadness.

A hand suddenly fell from the sky and rubbed Yaoguang's hair.

He was very rude and even ruffled Yaoguang's hair.

The owner of the hand sat down, wearing clothes that were not so new, with messy white hair. It seemed that he could still see the spirited spirit of his youth in his brows and eyes, but now he only had the temperament of being old and carefree. Siming asked: "Why, do you miss your mother?"

"Hey, you have been raised by your master and mistress since you were a child. But, after all, you are that guy's daughter. I guess these two people don't dare to raise you as their daughter, otherwise your father, that petty guy, will come to cause trouble."

"Don't blame me, um... No, forget it, just blame your father."

"Even if your mother has a special status and used some special medicine, if your father wasn't such a womanizer and arrogant, you wouldn't have been fooled. It's okay. It's all over."

"Don't worry about your parents' affairs. I'll be there for you in the future, along with that kid Li Guanyi. What else do you have to say?"

The black turtle next to Siming raised its paws to cover its eyes.

Siming rubbed Yaoguang's hair hard, and finally the silver hair became a mess.

There was no expression on the girl's face.

But there seemed to be a sense of anger accumulating rapidly in his eyes.

Finally, at the moment when Siming raised his palm, Yaoguang stretched out her hands, held Siming's palms on the left and right, and then opened her mouth.

A mouthful of shell-like teeth, white, neat and small.

Can chew through hard toasted buns.

The girl bit old Siming's palm fiercely. Old Siming gasped and his forehead twitched. However, he saw that the girl seemed to have finally calmed down from all emotions. At this moment, she slightly revealed some of her emotions, so the old man's eyes were slightly gentle.

Deep love does not bring longevity, and extreme wisdom will bring harm, especially for people like them.

If you see too many things and think too much, and keep them all in your heart, you won’t live long.

Old Siming was also sitting nearby. He picked up the wine jug and took a sip of the liquor. He looked at the two grandparents and grandchildren over there, and then looked at himself. There was only this old bastard himself and the little guy who was biting his hand tightly.

Yaoguang can get along well with anyone, no matter it is Pojun, Yuanzhi, Lei Laomeng, or Nangong Wumeng. Only the old man Siming seems to be able to easily cause ripples in Yaoguang astrologer's heart intentionally or unintentionally.

And it's very subtle, somewhere between being intentionally teasing and unintentionally stupid.

Siming sighed, feeling the strong liquor going down his throat, just like the night sky tonight. The summer air at night was also very stuffy. The old man thought about what he knew about Yaoguang's life experience, and sighed.

Not everyone can give birth to a martial arts legend.

The whale fishermen at that time drugged it.

But unfortunately, whale fishermen are of extremely arrogant and proud character.

He swallowed the bait and also swallowed the man who put the bait.

Originally, there were two beauties serving him, but the whale fisherman came to visit him. Old Siming sighed and murmured in his heart: "The most outstanding leader of the Demon Cult in the past three hundred years wants to obtain the bloodline of the latest martial arts legend. What is this?"

“No wonder a cocky fellow like the whale fisherman stuffed this little girl into the stargazing sect, while he himself fled to the vast land outside the South China Sea… The world is so big, and that place is indeed the safest place.”

The old man remained silent for a long time, and finally could only curse, saying:

"This damn martial arts world..."

Sima Ming looked towards the green-shirted sword maniac over there, and the Black Turtle Dharma Image was no longer afraid of Murong Longtu.

Siming saw a bird flapping its wings and landing on the shoulder of the sword maniac with a majestic sword aura. The bird even dared to stretch out its beak and gently peck the white hair at the temples of the sword maniac. Siming, who was always frivolous and casual, had a complicated expression on his face.

"From extreme yang to the rotation of yin and yang..."

"After all, not everyone has the martial arts and courage to cut off grudges like Murong Longtu."

Murong Longtu poured a glass of wine for Li Guanyi. The young man took a sip. It was refreshing at first, but the aftertaste was a bit sweet and sour like plums. Murong Longtu picked up the wine glass and said, "It's a wine from Jiangnan. It's not very strong, but it tastes very good."

"It is brewed with plums, and the jar is opened in the spring of next year, and it is called a branch of spring."

"When your mother was little, she loved to drink, but she couldn't hold her liquor. After drinking, she staggered and couldn't stand steadily. Finally, she sat down in the snow, and then she fell backwards and hit her head on the plum tree."

"When the plum tree swayed, a lot of snow fell on her head. She didn't get angry, but just stretched out her hands and grabbed the plum snow to play with."

"At that time, I sat next to the tree and watched her."

Murong Longtu smiled slightly, with some sadness in his eyes: "When I get old, I like to think about these trivial things. How is the forging of your sword?"

Li Guanyi said: "It's still just a sword embryo."

He turned around and went back to get a box, which was wrapped in rhinoceros skin. After opening it, he saw a sword embryo placed on the inky satin. It was forged from the things Li Guanyi got in the martial arts competition during the grand sacrifice.

It takes pondering, sharpening, cutting and maintaining the sword before success can be achieved.

There is a line of words on both the front and back of the sword.

Small seal script on the front.

[In the eleventh year of Tianqi, Li Guan wrote this work as a gift to Po Jun]

On the reverse side are gilded jade-colored text.

【Fish and Water Sword】.

They were all cast when they were first cast.

In order to make the three words "Yu Shui Jian" look good, the young man finally came up with a gold and jade shape, which took quite a bit of effort.

Murong Longtu's fingers gently brushed the edge of the sword and said, "You learned the sword-making techniques I taught you very quickly. By the time you finally forged this sword, you had already learned all the secrets of sword-making of my Murong family."

"However, learning does not mean complete mastery."

"There are only a few so-called swordsman moves. The effects are different when I use them and when you use them."

“After that, you need to hone your skills more.”

Li Guanyi noticed the emotion in the old man's tone and said:
"Grandpa..."

Murong Longtu said, "Don't worry. I just solved some problems and settled some grudges recently, and I suddenly felt something. So, why are you still staying here for so long?"

Li Guan put the Yu Shui sword back into the box. After being forged, this sword will become a precious weapon, but it just barely reaches this level. The characteristic should be sharp. Li Guanyi considered Po Jun's fighting style. This guy is not good at martial arts but likes to fight.

Giving it an extremely sharp sword will have the best effect.

This is the experience Li Guanyi gained from using the Autumn Water Sword.

Don’t worry about any magic weapon, special features, water or fire. The best weapon is the one that can penetrate the enemy’s body immediately.

Li Guanyi put the box aside and replied:
"After all, the spirit of the Ying Kingdom is strong. Although they and I are pretending to be at peace, they are still on guard against me. The Emperor of Ying has suppressed the civil and military officials. These officials can still work together. They are definitely unwilling to let us march straight in."

"It is not a violation of etiquette to have the Crown Prince personally receive us in this city that is used for external affairs."

"And the officials from the prefectures and states are here to accompany us, feasting every day, trying to stop us with softness. Once time passes, we will have no choice but to take the water route. And with thousands of soldiers, envoys and logistics, we will have to use warships if we want to take the water route."

"The Jiangnan navy will be separated."

Li Guanyi was drinking from his glass, but Murong Longtu didn't care much. He just wanted to enjoy the simple family happiness with his great-grandson. He suddenly laughed and said, "So, do you want to go to another place to drink?"

"Change a place?"

"For example, the Imperial Palace."

………………

In the county town of Ying State.

The prince was still flipping through some simple files. He was a man of strategy. Following the advice of the great official Zhao, he began to reorganize the county's administration and dealt with many people. He was the prince with real power and had great prestige. Together with the Tiger Cavalry and the rear army that were confronting Li Guanyi at the moment, he solved the problem in one go.

His cousin Jiang Cai looked at the feng shui map calmly, her voice calm:

"The Western Regions and the northern part of the country will be two important places."

Jiang Gao looked at Jiang Cai. The pretty lady pointed at the geomancy map and said, "You should have known about what happened outside the northern border."

Jiang Gao nodded. His sister was one of the five contemporary Zongheng masters. She had been outside the Northern Territory before and had just returned. Jiang Gao stretched out his fingers and rubbed his forehead, saying, "There is a large area outside the Northern Territory where warlords are fighting. I remember that the two former Taiping Army generals of the original Taiping Duke were there."

Xue Tianxing, No. 57 on the list of divine generals.

Yuan Shitong, ranked 54th on the list of divine generals.

Both of them were absolutely brave men in the Taiping Army. Outside the Northern Territory, each of them supported a young man who was said to be a descendant of the Duke of Taiping. Last year, Yue's army arrived there. They were originally in harmony, but later Jiang Cai went there and formed an alliance.

At this moment, the situation outside the Great Wall changed. The relationship between Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong was already as tense as fire and water. Yue Pengwu also saw that the two of them supported other people's offspring as the sons of the Marshal, and then raised the Marshal's battle flag, fighting each other with weapons.

Yue Pengwu was so angry that he vomited blood.

Although he was poisoned, his temper remained strong.

He has a very bad temper and can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

Also, because he knew what these two famous generals had done, he went to persuade them in the beginning. However, these two generals, who were both older than him and were brave and fierce, although they were concerned about Yue Pengwu, there was some contempt in their words for the younger generation.

Yue Pengwu said that Li Guanyi was the son of Duke Taiping. Now that the real master had appeared, the two puppets left behind by the two predecessors should not continue to be promoted as the sons of Duke Taiping. Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong were both unwilling to give up the name of their Taiping Army.

After a few exchanges, they became very unhappy with each other, especially the son of Duke Taiping on Xue Tianxing's side, who seemed to have got something wrong with him.

He even pretended to be the handwritten letter of Duke Taiping before his death and gave it to Yue Pengwu.

Yue Pengwu was so angry that he almost drew his gun on the spot.

Although he was seriously ill, his remaining strength was still strong. With the combined strength of Yan Xuanji and Yue Qianfeng, they were almost unable to hold Yue Pengwu back. The Yue Army broke away from the two parties because there was the third most powerful general in the world in the vast land outside the Northern Territory. He was originally a military student of the Zhongzhou Academy, had traveled around, and had served as a general in Ying State. He was of the same generation as the Emperor of Ying State and was good friends with the original Crown Prince of Ying State.

At that time, Emperor Ying was born out of wedlock.

He couldn't even protect the woman he loved. Gao Xiang also liked that woman, but because he was just an ordinary imperial guard, he felt inferior. As the top archer of the younger generation at that time, he still chose to help Emperor Ying.

At that time, Emperor Yingguo personally rode on horseback and held a knife to rob the bride. Gao Xiang was on a high building, shooting arrows with a bow and defeating all those who tried to stop them. There were three pots of arrows, but only one was left.

He presented the arrow to Emperor Ying as a symbol of friendship.

At that time, the young man was lying on the grass, covered in blood, but he was laughing heartily and was arrogant.

But later, the emperor of Ying State showed his rebellious heart, imprisoned the original prince, and embarked on the path of a powerful hero; in order to become emperor, after being silent for a long time, he married the girl of aristocratic family and gained the support of the family. Gao Xiang sighed and remained silent for a long time.

He asked the Emperor Ying, who had already set foot on this world at that time, and asked him:

"Do you still remember the sword you carried when you were young and poor?"

Emperor Ying was silent for a long time, and then replied: "Don't let people laugh at you."

Gao Xiang went to find the woman. At that time, she was already a little ill. The emperor built the tallest building for her and found treasures from all over the world. Even the queen of the Red Emperor's lineage in Zhongzhou did not enjoy such luxury.

Even if he married the only daughter of a great family, he still made her the queen. However, becoming a queen meant being trapped in this place, a canary between tall buildings.

Gao Xiang wanted to take her away, but in the end he was just called "Brother Gao".

He eventually left this place and led his army all the way to the northeast, killing his way through Ying State and arriving outside the Great Wall.

After several decades of fighting, an area outside the northern border was forced to become independent from the grasslands and the Central Plains.

More than ten years ago, when Zhou Liuying's grandfather died.

Jiang Su raised his hand and wanted to attack Gao Xiang, but Emperor Ying sighed and stopped him. He led his army to the outside of the pass himself, rode his war horse across the battlefield to the fortress outside the pass. He did not bring his personal soldiers with him, but broke the arrow himself.

This means that the love between the two people in their youth has been severed.

Then he said: "Her child is my prince!"

Soon, he turned his horse back to the world.

From then on, Ying State no longer sent troops outside the Great Wall in the northern region, but focused on the southern part of the world and the grasslands. The third general who was "a brilliant archer who could gallop across the territory" was also stationed outside the Great Wall, preventing the foreign tribes on the grassland from entering the Central Plains.

Now, the warlords fighting outside the pass suddenly formed an alliance, intending to encircle Xue Tianxing and the other three former generals of the Duke of Taiping. The other side was also turbulent. Jiang Gao sighed for a long time and said, "Uncle Gao has always been calm, why did he do this?"

Jiang Cai stretched out her fingers to stir the hair at her temples and said:
"He wants these warlords to fight each other. Besides, Uncle Gao Xiang doesn't care about this place. He has only one goal, which is to stop the Turkic steppe iron pagoda from entering the Central Plains from outside the pass. He is not loyal to any country. He just guards his homeland in the Central Plains."

"But the warlords' joint attack is my strategy."

Jiang Gao was slightly stunned.

Jiang Cai looked at him and said, "Don't you know why Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong quarreled with Yue Pengwu? It's because if they didn't, it would be difficult for them to survive peacefully outside the Northern Territory."

"In other words, the more powerful Li Guanyi's Qilin Army is, the more the former subordinates of Duke Taiping in the Northern Territory will not be able to get along harmoniously and stick together. Otherwise, they will inevitably be envied and attacked by others, and it will be difficult for them to last long."

"They are all famous generals, how could they not see this? The three of them are just acting."

Jiang Gao smiled and shook his head, saying, "That can't be the case. Is the letter to Yue Pengwu also fake?"

Jiang Cai thought for a moment and said, "That's probably what the so-called 'Son of the Duke of Taiping' did out of his own accord."

The woman put her hand to her forehead and said, "There are too many stupid people in the world."

"There are always some guys who will do things that are hard to judge. I will stir up trouble outside the Northern Territory, and the other warlords will hold back the Taiping Army. If possible, it would be best to wipe out that Taiping Army force."

She placed black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, with the black chess pieces forming a dragon and the white chess pieces at the bottom and upper right corner.

Jiang Cai said: "Look, at the moment this place is the Qilin Army, and here are the old Taiping Army. If we separate the two ends, it will still not have much effect. But if they are connected, it will be like the 'qi connection' of chess pieces on a chessboard."

"Then the tiger clasped its claws, and the dragon soared into the sky."

"The reason why I told you not to worry about Li Guanyi but to pay attention to the Regent is also for this reason. Jiangnan is well connected and a strategic location, but it is actually an isolated place. It is difficult to advance without the foundation of hegemony."

"But if he gets the land of the Northern Territory, it will be different. Even if General Gao Xiang is here, he can't get the land. But once there is a change in our dynasty, the Qilin Army and the Taiping Army will march out at the same time, which means we will be in trouble from both sides. I'm afraid there will be great danger."

Jiang Gao shook his head and laughed, "Sister, what are you talking about? The energy outside the northern region and the energy in the south of the Yangtze River need to be connected. The capable ministers and generals of our Ying State are not here to eat and do nothing."

"Besides, my father is in his prime, and all the civil and military officials are willing to die for him. What big change could there be?"

Jiang Cai looked at him: "Jiang Yuan has evil intentions towards you, don't you know it?"

Jiang Gao remained silent for a long time.

He touched the file with his palm, smiled faintly, and said softly: "Yes, I know, but he is my brother, a biological brother, with the same father and mother, and blood-related biological brother."

"My mother passed away. Apart from my father, he and I are the closest people to me in this world."

"I still remember my mother was seriously ill, my father was dealing with the noble families outside, and faced the Duke of Taiping. My brother and I held my mother's hand together. I don't know when I fell asleep. I woke up early, looking at my brother's eyelashes in the sunlight. I thought that this person and I had the same blood flowing in our veins. My heart suddenly softened, and I was not so afraid of my mother's departure."

"But my father will eventually leave this world, and if he breaks up with my brother again, I will really be alone."

"I don't want to."

Jiang Cai looked at him deeply and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has cultivated you into a kind and benevolent person. I don't know whether it is good or bad. Well, just treat what happened just now as a joke."

"I'll find a way to put out the anger there."

"At least stop it."

"Now the Western Regions and..."

Suddenly, there were bursts of noise outside, followed by the neighing of soldiers and horses. Jiang Cai was stunned and immediately asked, "Do Li Guanyi and the Qilin Army really dare to charge directly?!"

Jiang Gao has rushed out.

In order to prevent the powerful generals of the Qilin Army from entering the internal territory of Ying State, there are one thousand Tiger Cavalry, two thousand auxiliary cavalry, and three thousand heavily armored soldiers here, a total of six thousand soldiers and horses, and they are all brave.

The camp faces the Qilin Army.

To suppress him with an upright and powerful force is to make Li Guanyi retreat.

Jiang Gao rushed over, but saw that the barracks over there had not moved. The Qilin Army was the same as usual. He was stunned at first, but soon he saw that the Tiger Cavalry of Ying State began to mobilize. The famous generals were already in armor and had sharp weapons in hand, and their expressions were extremely ugly.

Jiang Gao said: "General Feng, what's going on?!"

The general replied, "Someone broke through!"

The prince looked at it and was slightly stunned.

There were only one old man and one young man who came to the gate. A swordsman in green came walking over, holding a pot of wine, his hair slightly raised, and said, "Guan Yi, leave the army here to prevent Jiangnan and your Qilin Army from fighting with the Ying State's troops."

"Today, I am just an old man going to Ying State to ask for an explanation. How about it? Do you dare to go with me?"

Feng Yuanmeng looked unhappy and raised his hand.

Three thousand heavy cavalrymen all raised their spears, and three thousand heavy-armored crossbowmen also raised their crossbow arrows. Led by famous generals, the army formation turned into a Dharma image, like a pack of wolves. This was a formation that Li Guanyi had to avoid.

Murong Longtu asked Li Guanyi: "Drinking should be done in places with the best scenery. Do you know where is the most comfortable place to drink?"

"It's the imperial palace of Ying State."

"Come on, Guanyi, walk with me."

The famous general's eyes widened, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he shouted angrily:

"Stop!"

"Sword Maniac, stop!"

He paused, and seeing the old man approaching, he tensed up. Finally, he could no longer endure it and could not let the sword maniac go any further. He suddenly shouted, "Attack!!!"

The sound of the highest-level crossbow firing was short and powerful, like a buzzing sound.

Three thousand crossbows, but it seemed as if only one shot was fired!
Then arrows suddenly shot out, the army roared, the sword maniac held the sword, calmly and unhurriedly. People all said that the army was undefeated on the battlefield. No matter what kind of master warrior you were, under the ravages of the army, your only ending was death.

But on this day, the old man in green robes carried a wine jug and calmly walked past six thousand soldiers. He didn't kill many people, and he didn't draw his sword. He really looked like he was going to drink with his great-grandson.

Among the six thousand heavily armored soldiers, not even one old man can be left behind!
It seemed as if he had only walked a short distance with Li Guanyi, but they had already walked a thousand miles and arrived in front of the imperial city of Ying State. The old man had his white hair tied up, his green sleeves fluttering, and he was looking ahead.

The wide imperial road in front of the palace had been opened and was empty.

Yuwen Lie was already wearing armor and holding a gun.

The white tiger behind him pressed his claws, raised his head and roared.

The fifth most powerful god in the world will charge forward personally!

Murong Longtu holds a wine jug in his left hand, and Li Guanyi follows behind him.

Yuwen Lie charged forward bravely with great arrogance.

A competition between the best!
Murong Longtu's momentum was interrupted for a moment by Yuwen Lie.

But he did not stop and took another step. The momentum that was rudely cut off by Yuwen Lie at that moment was resumed and grown again. However, the charge of the divine general could not be repeated immediately. When Yuwen Lie turned around, the old man in green had already walked to the forbidden gate of the palace.

The green-shirted sword maniac raised his eyes to look at the imperial palace under the moon, and the tallest Star-Picking Tower.

He suddenly laughed and said, "There is nothing in Jiangnan."

"Just a little more spring."

"I am here to invite you to drink."

He moved his wrist slightly, and the wine in the jug poured out. The old man rolled his palm and flicked his fingers, and the roar of sword energy soared into the sky and hit in front of the palace gate.

boom! ! !
The gate of the imperial palace, which represented the absolute majesty of the secular world, was blown open.

Behind the door, three hundred royal cavalrymen fell in front of a man.

The blue shirt is fierce.

Sword maniac, knock on the gate, drink!
