Chapter 351: People from Yunzhou

Chapter 351: People from Yunzhou
The calm on the surface cannot conceal the turbulent undercurrent.

An Ningwei could see scouts coming in and out every day.

Even the soldiers who were unaware of the situation could feel the tense atmosphere.

However, these have nothing to do with Li Rui.

In the courtyard.

Wang Zhao stood obediently in front of Li Rui.

"Yes, it's already the seventh rank."

"Change into better clothes in the future, Xiaozhao. You are not particular at all. If you can't find a wife, your uncle Yang will be worried to death."

Li Rui looked at his disciple with satisfaction.

Although Wang Zhao's face looks a little childish, he is actually in his thirties according to his age.

In the State of Yu.

They are in their thirties, and some of them may already have grandchildren.

Wang Zhao's progress is pitifully slow.

Old Yang has been worried about this matter for a long time. He always feels that he has no hope of living to see the day when Wang Zhao gets married and he holds his grandchild. Recently, he has even become slack in practicing health-preserving boxing.

Li Rui tried to persuade him several times, but it was useless.

This boy takes Dahong and Xiaohu in the stable more seriously than the naked girls.

Wang Zhao: "It's all thanks to Master's good teaching."

Today, Wang Zhao has shed the simplicity of that little groom apprentice and has become more steady, even noble.

Although he is not handsome, he won't be disliked by any girl because of his appearance when he goes out.

Li Rui felt a little emotional.

Before he knew it, his three disciples had all reached the seventh rank.

Liu Tiezhu's progress is the fastest, maybe he can become a sixth-rank official in a few years.

no way.

Just like being with a great master like Tie Kuang, and with his natural physique of a diamond, it is hard not to be powerful.

Liang He and Liu Tiezhu have both become capable of standing on their own, but the youngest disciple
"Xiao Zhao, I know your temper."

"But you can't always stay by Master's side. It's time to go out and walk around. Master has already found a job for you in the Wu Kingdom. You can go there in a few days."

Li Rui said.

Wang Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Master."

He didn't expect that Li Rui would actually want to drive him away, and to such a far place as Wu Country.

Li Rui: "When you grow up, you have to go out and try your luck. It's no use staying in Qinghe forever."

Since you are a master, of course you have to consider your disciple.

Liang He and Liu Tiezhu have both found their own paths. According to the older generation in Qinghe, they have been led to the door and it is up to them to do it on their own from now on.

Can't always be around.

Among the three disciples, only Wang Zhao is still immature and needs training.

This must be done with determination.

Wang Zhao felt a little confused for a moment when he thought about leaving Qinghe.

Before he came of age, he was bought into the Zhu family and learned the skill of feeding horses from Li Rui.

Later, he was taken out of the Zhu family by Li Rui and has been following Li Rui ever since.

He had long been accustomed to a life where he listened to Li Rui.

Ask him to go alone to a place thousands of miles away.

How can I not be confused?

Li Rui sighed softly.

Even though keeping Wang Zhao by his side would bring him many conveniences, it would actually harm Wang Zhao.

Since you are an eagle, you must fly alone.

I can't always be under his wing.

In the past, he wanted to send Wang Zhao to the Imperial Stables in Yunzhou, but as Wang Zhao's talent was revealed, he changed his mind and decided that the most appropriate place for Wang Zhao was to go to the Wu Kingdom.

Perhaps many years later, a great demon tamer named Wang Zhao will appear in the Wu Kingdom.

"Okay, after a few days, you can follow the caravan to find your Senior Brother Liang, and he will make the arrangements."

"If you run into trouble after you get there, just find someone. Master still has many friends in Wu Country."

Wang Zhao still found it difficult to digest today's information, but seeing that Li Rui had made up his mind, he knew it was impossible for him to refuse, so he could only nod blankly.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have made the breakthrough."

He looked sad.

Until Li Rui drove him back to the house.

Then he moved his feet stiffly and walked towards his room.

Li Rui looked at him and shook his head.

Everyone has his or her own path to follow, and the same goes for masters and apprentices.

This day.

"Sir Li, General Nie wants you to go to the General's Mansion."

One of Nie Siming's personal guards came to the military mansion.

Li Rui nodded without even thinking: "Okay."

Immediately.

So he went out and headed towards the general's mansion.

As soon as I walked into the general's mansion, I saw a lot of people sitting in the room, except Nie Siming and Cao Wei.

There are two more people.

Li Rui knew one of them, who was Yuan Dingting’s eighth adopted son, Yuan Xiong.

In addition, there is one person.

Li Rui had never seen it before, but he had heard of its name before: the Soul-Snatching Sword, Liu Qing.

I heard that he was originally a knight-errant from the northwest, but later on, somehow, he followed Yuan Dingting to join the army. However, unlike other soldiers, he never went to the battlefield.

As for why he is so famous, it is because he often performs remarkable feats of assassinating enemy leaders.

It frightened the barbarians in the northwest, so it was given the name of the Soul-Snatching Sword.

"I heard that Liu Qing's sword is very fast. Very fast."

'Very few people have seen him take action, or those who have seen him take action are already dead.'

'A natural born assassin.'

Li Rui walked into the lobby, sat next to Cao Wei, and closed his eyes to rest without asking any questions.

About an incense stick of time passed.

Two more people walked in from outside the hall.

They were Jia Qi, the magistrate of Qinghe, and Yan Zhongxing, the director of the Municipal Trade Bureau.

The two of them sat opposite Li Rui and Cao Wei.

Judging from the surprised looks on their faces, they probably had no idea what was going to happen today.

Almost at the same time when Li Rui opened his eyes, Nie Siming's voice rang out: "Everyone, this is Mr. Liu, an aide to my adoptive father. This time, I was specially entrusted by my adoptive father to help us clear the river and pacify the Purple Gold Palace."

I heard the word Mr. Liu.

Jia Qi and Yan Zhongxing both sat up straight unconsciously.

Among Yuan Dingting's staff, there was only one person with the surname Liu, and that was Liu Qing, who was very famous in the northwest.

The two of them quickly stood up and bowed to Liu Qing:
"I've met Mr. Liu."

Although Liu Qing did not have any official title, his position as a staff member was just a nominal one, and his status depended entirely on the attitude of his master.

But who told Liu Qing to work for the Annan Marquis Mansion and be a second-rank earthly immortal himself?

No matter which point.

It's not too much for both of them to be polite.

Liu Qing was a middle-aged man with an ordinary look, even a bit of a scholarly air. He smiled slightly and said, "My lords, there is no need to be polite. This time I am following the orders of the Marquis, and I hope you will help me."

Every gesture makes people feel like spring breeze.

After exchanging a few words with the people in the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became a little softer.

But his next words instantly turned the atmosphere in the room cold:

"I'm sure you all know about the Purple Gold Palace."

"Our dynasty has always been unyielding towards evil cults. Even though the Purple Gold Palace is in the Ten Thousand Mountains, it can't be allowed to stay if it spreads evil words to confuse the people and shakes the peace."

"It needs to be suppressed."

The murderous intention is evident in his words.

After hearing Liu Qing's words, Jia Qi, Cao Wei and Yan Zhongxing couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

They have been troubled by Song Shi's affairs these days.

It is now certain that Song Shi was killed by people from the Zijin Palace.

But the Purple Gold Palace is powerful, and has a second-grade strongman like the Blood Shadow Ancestor in charge. Qinghe alone is no match for it.

Now that the strong men from the Marquis' Mansion have come forward, even great masters like Liu Qing have come. As long as they can suppress the Zi Jin Palace, they can make up for their mistakes.

A great thing.

Several people couldn't help but look at each other.

They could all see that the other party was secretly relieved.

In comparison, Nie Siming and Li Rui were much calmer.

Because they already knew some inside information, the Purple Gold Palace was most likely related to the banished immortal.

So they won't be punished at all.

Of course, because the matter was of great importance, they all tacitly agreed not to reveal these things to Cao Wei and the other two.

As for Liu Qing, he probably also knew about the banished immortal.

Cao Wei stood up first:

"We are willing to do our best to eradicate the evil!"

"Correct!"

Jia Qi and Yan Zhongxing also nodded in agreement.

Li Rui naturally joined in and expressed his firm support.

Seeing this, Liu Qing nodded with satisfaction: "My Lords, thank you again for your generosity."

Once we reached a consensus, things became much clearer afterwards.

Liu Qing said a few polite words, then started to make arrangements without any hesitation.

First of all, of course, we need to gather manpower.

Because the Purple Gold Palace is very likely to have spies planted in the city, this matter must be done covertly, and the number of people cannot be too large. A surprise attack by elite troops is the best.

The manpower needed, of course, is from Anning Guard, County Government, and Municipal Trade Bureau to come up with a solution.

Second.

Of course, it is to negotiate with the Wu Kingdom.

Now the three princesses of Wu Kingdom have become consorts of the princes of Yu Kingdom. In terms of relationship, the two countries are relatives.

It would be impolite to send troops without prior notice.

Before sending troops, it is natural to communicate with the Wu Kingdom first.

Otherwise, if the Fourth Prince is embarrassed again, the Holy Emperor's reputation will be damaged, which is a serious matter.

If it is not done well, the consequences may even be more serious than losing a battle.

We need to find a suitable and capable person to negotiate with the Wu Kingdom.

Liu Qing gave a long list of instructions, then turned to look at Li Rui:

"I've often heard that when Lord Li was the Commandant of Commerce, he had established a deep friendship with the Wu Kingdom. It's most appropriate for Lord Li to handle the negotiations with the Wu Kingdom."

Li Rui nodded without hesitation: "Yes, sir."

Before, because of He Qiannian, he never had to get involved in the affairs of the Zijin Palace.

Cao Wei even brought people to the vicinity of Zijin Palace to watch several rounds.

And he didn't even have to leave the city.

Now that Liu Qing is here, it would be inappropriate to just be a bystander.

It's time to contribute.

Compared with other things, the task arranged by Liu Qing was not difficult for him.

Xia Xiaotang has returned to the Wu Kingdom from the imperial city.

With the help of this great wizard's disciples, many things become easier.

Liu Qing raised the corners of his mouth.

"very good."

"Everyone has the right to kill the evil demons and heretics. Now I will trouble you all with the next step."
