Zongwu: Yue Lao System, grab Huang Rong

Even Wang Lianhua, the founder of "Lianhua Baojian", was not a martial saint. From this, we can infer that its value is not as great as the rumors say.

"I didn't expect that someone was behind this and was trying to smear me."

The two of them became curious, but neither of them wanted to investigate further.

After all, it's none of my business.

Even without the "Mirror of Pity for Flowers", having the Sword of the Heavenly Sword was a great gain. Shangguan Haitang took the note happily.

Suddenly hesitantly asked, "This...can I open it and take a look?"

Li Yu shook his head.

Shangguan Haitang understood and immediately assured him, "Don't worry, Your Excellency. No one else will see this note except the Divine Marquis."

"That's for the best."

The deal was done, and the relationship between the three of them suddenly became much closer.

Shangguan Haitang's face was filled with a happy smile. She really didn't expect that she could actually get the Sword of the Heavenly Sword just by trying.

That is the Yitian Sword!

Before the secret of the sword was exposed, no one cared about it, but in less than a month, the value of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber skyrocketed.

If this is accomplished, her contribution to the development of Hulong Villa will be great.

I'm sure her adoptive father will be very happy and proud of her.

Shangguan Haitang was very happy, and at the same time she made up her mind to carry out her style of doing things in the future, "try it out even if there is a chance or not".

You never know when you will get an unexpected reward.

Li Yu glanced at her inconspicuously. Her Adam's apple and flat chest...

Well, this disguise is much better than what we see in TV dramas. At least it’s not so stupid that men can see through it at a glance.

But the faint fragrance on her body was really out of place. If you didn’t know her, you would think she was a rabbit.

· ·····Request flowers····· ··

Without giving it much thought, Li Yu, who had been chatting casually, suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that the late emperor once bestowed upon the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis two precious treasures, the 'Red Book and Iron Certificate' and the 'Imperial Sword', which can be used to behead tyrants and corrupt officials?"

Shangguan Haitang smiled proudly, "Thanks to the late emperor's favor, Hulong Villa does have these two items."

Li Yu nodded and asked, "I also heard that the most powerful thing about Hulong Villa is not martial arts, but intelligence and strategy. Does Hulong Villa have files for all departments, garrisons, and officers above the rank of captain?"

"This..." Shangguan Haitang hesitated, but was not in a position to answer.

After all, this involves the privacy of Huolong Villa.

Li Yu, however, seemed to be oblivious to the taboos and sighed to himself, "When water is too clear, there are no fish. This is especially true in the officialdom."

"Hulong Villa holds so many secrets. I guess the merits and demerits of officials at all levels cannot be hidden from the Divine Marquis."

"In this way, those officials will be honest, diligent, and care for the people, and will not dare to commit any acts of rebellion. Otherwise, the 'Imperial Sword' will not be just for show."

"Hulong Villa truly lives up to its name of 'Hulong'. It protects the Ming Dynasty and makes it as stable as Mount Tai. The title of 'Iron-hearted Divine Marquis' is truly worthy of its name."

.. ..... 0

Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya frowned at the same time.

Although every word Li Yu said was praising Hulong Villa, somehow it sounded particularly harsh, as if there was something else behind his words, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

But they don’t realize that the reason they feel uncomfortable is that there are some things they dare not think about and consciously ignore.

But now, Li Yu insisted on bringing it up, which was contrary to their original intentions, so of course they would subconsciously reject it.

While he was feeling upset, he heard Li Yu muttering nonchalantly, "I heard that there are ten generals stationed on the border of the Ming Dynasty. They are the pillars of the country. The Hulong Villa should also be keeping a close eye on them, right? We must not let them be infiltrated and instigated by the enemy."

As soon as Qi said this, Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya's faces changed suddenly!

6 As secret agents of the Imperial Palace, they immediately heard another meaning in that normal sentence.

The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes met, and then they looked away at the same time.

3. Li Yu saw their reactions but remained calm.

He took a deep breath, turned around and said with a smile, "Let's say goodbye now, you two. I believe you are also heading for the sword fight in the Snow Mountain. See you again if you are lucky enough."

4 After saying that, she started with Lingbo Weibu and disappeared at the end of her sight at a speed beyond the imagination of both of them.

Duan Tianya narrowed his eyes and said, "The oppression this person brings to me is no less than that of my adoptive father."

Shangguan Haitang learned from Master Wuhen. She is knowledgeable, smart, and knows everything about medicine, divination, and astrology. Her skills in using hidden weapons are unparalleled.

But it is precisely because I learned too many things and my time and energy were too dispersed that now, at the age of twenty-five, I am only in the late stage of innateness.

There is a huge gap between him and Duan Tianya.

Therefore, she could only feel that Li Yu was very powerful, but she couldn't say to what extent.

Now, when she heard Duan Tianya say that Li Yu's strength might be similar to that of her godlike adoptive father, her first reaction was disbelief.

"He's only about twenty years old, right?" Shangguan Haitang expressed doubt.

Duan Tianya shook his head and said nothing.

Because he also found it incredible.

There was silence.

As for the sensitive topic that Li Yu had just mentioned, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it.

Just because it’s not mentioned doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It’s like a thorn in the hearts of both of them, making it hard for them to forget.

……

Soon, a Saker Falcon fluttered into the sky and flew towards Kyōjo Maru.

Chapter 095: Cutting the Gordian knot and capturing Yue Lingshan

Back on the White Dragon Chariot, Yue Lingshan curiously asked Li Yu what he had said to Shangguan Haitang, and Li Yu told her the truth.

"Ah? It turns out that the loyal Tiedan Shenhou actually wants to rebel!" Yue Lingshan's face was full of astonishment.

The Iron-hearted Divine Marquis of the Huolong Villa was very famous in the Ming Dynasty and even had considerable fame in other dynasties.

When Yue Lingshan was in Huashan, she heard her senior brothers talking about it in casual conversation, so she was no stranger to it.

Unexpectedly, the "loyal minister" who always faced the world with a positive image was the evil wolf who always coveted the Ming Dynasty.

It is ironic that he was also given the "Imperial Sword" by the previous emperor, which allowed him to behead tyrants and corrupt ministers.

"Brother Li went to remind the owner of Shangguan Manor on purpose. Could it be that he will be abandoned as a pawn by the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis in the future?" Yue Lingshan seemed to be thinking about it.

"That's right." Li Yu nodded. He did go to put eye drops on Shangguan Haitang.

Yue Lingshan felt something was wrong.

Through these days of getting along, Yue Lingshan discovered that Li Yu usually had a clear goal and would not waste his energy on an insignificant matter for no reason.

And why did he specifically remind the owner of Shangguan Manor?

"Brother Li, isn't that Master Shangguan a great hero, a truly admirable chivalrous man?"

"Oh, as for the imperial spies, you could say there are some righteous ones among them, but where are the true heroes? They've spent their entire lives serving the interests of the imperial court, and many of them have acted against their will. How can they be called heroes?"

"So, is Brother Li acquainted with the owner of Shangguan Manor?"

"There wasn't any before, but this time we met in episode 250, so I guess it can be considered a little bit."

"Ah... then I understand." Yue Lingshan's tone suddenly became a little depressed.

Li Yu was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Yue Lingshan wrinkled her nose and said with resentment, "That owner of Shangguan Manor must be a woman disguised as a man, right?"

When watching the battle from afar, Yue Lingshan felt that Shangguan Haitang was a bit effeminate. It turned out that she was not a effeminate, but a little lady.

Look at her delicate features and fair skin, she must be a great beauty.

No wonder Li Yu is so kind.

Seeing this, Li Yu knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but laugh: "You are jealous, aren't you?"

Yue Lingshan blushed, turned away, and snorted, "I don't like you, why should I be jealous?"

Li Yu looked carefully at the expression on her face, and with an idea in mind, the space in the carriage changed, and the two of them instantly moved from the hall to a separate bedroom.

Seeing the scene around her change, Yue Lingshan was stunned at first, then startled. She turned to look at Li Yu, her expression becoming nervous: "Brother Li, you...you..."

The girl's heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of her throat. She could even hear her own heartbeat.

A man and a woman alone, living together in the same room...

Yue Lingshan couldn't help but let her thoughts run wild. Her little head was so dizzy that she didn't even realize that Li Yu had grabbed her hand.

However, Li Yu did not take any further action. Instead, he said, "Lingshan, do you know who among them was the first to follow me?"

Yue Lingshan recovered a little, and although she didn't understand what he meant, she still said, "It's Sister Rong."

Li Yu asked again: "What do you think of Rong'er?"

"Ah?" Yue Lingshan was stunned when she heard this and felt even more confused. She didn't know why Li Yu asked these strange questions.

But she was simple-minded and not cunning, and said bluntly, "Sister Rong is the smartest! She's also beautiful and kind, and treats us very well. She's also multi-talented. Just thinking about the dishes she cooks makes my mouth water. She's also proficient in the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and the Qimen Dunjia... Oh, anyway, she's the best, better than any of us."

"Yes, for an ordinary person to marry such a rare woman, it would be a blessing in three lifetimes, and a blessing accumulated for eight lifetimes. How could he dare to be greedy and insatiable?" Li Yu sighed.

Yue Lingshan looked at him suspiciously, full of confusion.

Did Brother Li take the wrong medicine?

If you say this, isn't that just slapping yourself in the face?

Yue Lingshan said that the adult world is too complicated and she, a new adult, cannot understand it.

Li Yu then asked her: "Rong'er is so good, men who want to marry her would probably go around the Ming Dynasty, so do you know why she is willing to follow me and even allow me to mess with other women?"

Yue Lingshan was stunned when she heard this.

Yes, why?

Even I have exclusive thoughts about my future husband and don't want to share a husband with others. Sister Rong is ten times more talented than me, so why don't you mind?
