Chapter 297 Temple (I)

After sending off the mission, Li Ming returned to the palace surrounded by everyone. In the morning, the telegram from the Great Zhou Dynasty had already contacted Ximen Hu and conveyed Li Ming's meaning to him. Although Ximen Hu was very angry at the time, he still reluctantly agreed to Li Ming's request. For him, it was the most important thing to be able to successfully put Liu Guang into the position of crown prince in three months. For Li Ming's coercion, he could only temporarily endure humiliation.

For Li Ming, this mission was purely for Man'er. Otherwise, he could defeat the invasion of the Great Zhou Kingdom with his current troops alone. This was the maximum concession he made for Man'er. If the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom was ungrateful, he would have to fight against the Great Zhou Kingdom to the end. By then, I believe Man'er had nothing to say.

I thought that after sending off the envoys, Li Ming could have a good rest, but I didn't expect that Yi Yi came in again, with a little nervous look in his expression, but he was also curious, which made Li Ming feel very strange.

"Lord, the news just came from Swallows reappeared in Linzhou."

"Swallow!" Li Ming screamed in surprise. This mysterious little girl has been missing since she lost her trace in Linzhou six months ago. She originally thought she would never show up in Linzhou, but she didn't expect to hear this news. Could it be that she really didn't take Li Ming seriously?

"Yes, in Shelgu City, besides Yan Zi, there are two old men around her. According to the Linjiazhuang staff in Linzhou, their martial arts are unfathomable." B said while handing the telegram to Li Ming.

"No wonder he was so blatant. Unfortunately, Yang Ping has no news yet, otherwise he would have asked him to explore the depth of the two old men. Now he realized how useful it is to be like a master. Hehe, I didn't want to see him before, but at this time, I really miss this old eunuch a little." Speaking of this, Li Ming laughed mockingly.

"Their whereabouts are the key targets of surveillance and report them to me at any time. I am worried that this Swallow may really be a member of a killer group. According to their rules, after the Swallow fails, this group may really send someone else to assassinate me. However, don't they think it's so conspicuous? Do you really think there are no masters in the world?" Li Ming put down the telegram, walked in the room, and said while thinking.

"Order Zhuangya to go out and test their depth halfway. Oh, if Yang Ping is there, I wouldn't be so embarrassed." There are really few masters around him at this moment. The old chef is responsible for protecting him and he will definitely not agree to go out. Lin Shuang was just sent to the Great Zhou Kingdom by him. At this moment, the only masters who can be arranged by him are Zhuangya. Although Zhuangya's martial arts are good, they are still far from the realm of the top masters. It is hard to say whether there is any danger in this trip, but there is no suitable candidate except him.

Thinking of the masters around him, Li Ming thought of Linjiazhuang. After quelling Lin Lingqiang's rebellion, Linjiazhuang has basically returned to its previous state after half a year of rest. If several masters of the Ling generation were sent from there, they should be much better than Zhuang Ya. Thinking of this, he called Yi Yi who was about to go out, sat at the desk and wrote a letter to him, and ordered: "This letter was sent to Linjiazhuang and handed to my master. I hope he has not set off yet."

The matter of Yanzi made Li Ming pay more attention. If it was as mentioned in the telegram that the two old men who followed Yanzi were both masters with unfathomable martial arts, I would really be careful. It would be better that Zhuang Ya would meet them earlier, so that I could also understand their background.

The next day, it was morning court, and Li Ming kept Ma Lin and the others, and asked about the traces of the swallows in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the Hewu Garden.

"As for news this morning, they had left the lac city and rushed towards this direction after leaving the south gate. Our personnel had already begun to try to follow, but were discovered by the two old men. As a result, the people following them all pointed the acupoints. Now, their whereabouts can only be investigated by our fixed intelligence personnel, hoping not to lose their trace." Before Malin sat firmly, he began to report.

After hearing this, Li Ming looked solemn. It seemed that the two old men with Yan Zi were really masters. Zhuang Ya and the others were a little dangerous. However, they just clicked the acupoints of the trackers without hurting them. This made Li Ming feel a little strange. According to the rules of these killers, they found that all the people with their identities were going to be silenced by them. Could it be that their martial arts are really high enough to do whatever they want? Thinking of this, he asked, "What do you think? How powerful are their martial arts? How many people can they have at your level?"

The old chef appeared and still misered his old face and replied: "I don't know how their martial arts are, but it's probably not so easy to reach my level. I've only seen three people so far. One is your master, with a smart talent, a martial arts genius, but he is too obedient to the rules, has more success and lacks in progress; the other is Lin Yi, who can't even see through his martial arts, and the other is Yang Ping in the palace, and I can't see through him. Others, I think it's impossible. After all, if you reach our level, innate conditions are as indispensable as acquired cultivation. Martial arts geniuses are not difficult to find, like you

It's just one, but without correct guidance and clever practice techniques, geniuses are just geniuses and cannot become masters. In today's martial arts world, except for the martial arts of the three major martial arts holy places, no other sect can decide whether the martial arts are present. This is all due to the problem of martial arts practice methods. The Lin family's Taiqing Gong, Tianma Mountain Xixiang Gong and Dubifeng Qingyun Gong are the most authentic internal skills practice methods left in the martial arts world. This is the basis for becoming a master. Without this foundation, it is impossible to become a master. Therefore, I don't think those two people will be so powerful. The Lin family's foreign disciples mainly focus on doing business. If they are not very good in martial arts, it is possible to misunderstand it."

After hearing what the old chef explained, Li Ming felt a little calmer. If Zhuang Ya had something unexpected about this, he would really feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"So, how about the martial arts of the Golden God of War?" Li Ming suddenly remembered the martial arts strange man who had indirectly saved his life and asked the old chef.

"Golden God of War?" The old chef looked at Li Ming blankly and asked, "Who is the Golden God of War? I have never heard of it. Is the name so strange?"

Li Ming couldn't help but laugh. The old cook lived in Linjiazhuang all year round, and he knew very little about the martial arts world. Apart from his excellent martial arts skills, he really shouldn't expect him to help him in other aspects.

"A martial arts senior from the Golden God of War hundreds of years ago, I heard that he was very skilled in martial arts and was invincible in the world." Seeing the old chef confused, the Saint Hand King explained to him.

"I'm invincible in the world? What a big tone." The old chef shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Take the few people nowadays as an example. No one dares to say that he's invincible in the world. His martial arts are endless, and there's even more powerful ones. It's impossible to be invincible. This person may have a surplus of reputation."

Li Ming smiled helplessly and said, "Maybe what you said is true. After all, it has been hundreds of years, and no one knows the truth of the matter. But I think, maybe this Golden God of War really has something outstanding. Even if it is not invincible in the world, it should be one of the few top masters. His martial arts practice method should be excellent. If this happens, the martial arts skills of the two old men may be very high. According to my estimate, they may be related to the Golden God of War back then. Of course, this premise is that Yan Zi did not lie to me."

"If you want Swallow not to lie, it is as difficult as asking Gao Wei to go shopping in brothels." Marin, who was beside him, made a joke, and Gao Wei's eyes turned pale, raised his hand and poured his drink on his face. Everyone laughed, and the dull atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Li Ming smiled and said, "I also know that 90% of the words of Yan Zi cannot be believed, but I always have a special feeling for the Golden God of War. So, how about the old chef who went there in person?"

The old chef shook his head and said lightly: "I can't leave you. What if these two people are bait? I'm not at ease with others. If you want to assassinate you, they can't appear in Linzhou so blatantly, so I wonder if this will be a trap."

After a few words, everyone was stunned. The old chef looked silent and had never seen any world. However, he didn't expect that he would have such careful thinking. Everyone was thinking about how to deal with these two old men just now, but they didn't expect the possibility that the old chef mentioned. For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

"That's right, the old chef is right. It's very likely that this is a trap." The Saint King nodded first and said, "I felt a little confused at first, but I didn't expect this. In this way, we have to strengthen the defense of the imperial city."

Li Ming smiled indifferently and said, "I have the protection of the old chefs around me, and there are so many secret guards and personal guards. What if they are trying to attack the east and the west? Nanguo City and around me are my eyes and ears. Not only our Ministry of Security, Supervision Office, the intelligence personnel of the Medical God Cult and Linjiazhuang, but also the palace spies I directly affiliated with. Is there any suspicious person who can escape our eyes when entering? Is there anyone like this recently?"

Several people present shook their heads at the same time. Marin said: "It can be said that half of the millions of people in Nanguo City are providing us with intelligence, and every move is under our surveillance. In the past six months, the joint defense organization similar to the previous Biquan Island has been formed. There is a new face in Nanguo City that cannot escape our surveillance. It is impossible for them to sneak into the city, unless they will take advantage of the darkness to cross the defense of the three walls and directly attack the palace, but in the palace, we have our stakes everywhere, and they are even more invisible."

Li Ming nodded and smiled, "So, I'm not worried about their plan to attack the world. Everything will be the same. If they dare to come, they will fall into the trap."

"Be careful." Gao Wei, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Didn't the emperor say he wanted to go to Baoguo Temple a few days ago? In this situation, I should stay in the palace and not go out. Let's wait until the matter of this swallow is resolved. Malin, you are not allowed to take the emperor out secretly, otherwise I will not spare you." He said that he is at the same level now, but what Gao Wei said, Malin and Chen Hao always dare not disobey. Even the Holy Hand King sometimes dare not disobey Gao Wei's words. When he heard what he said, everyone looked at each other helplessly.

After seeing everyone off, Li Ming sat alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, staring blankly at the green lotus leaves in the lake, not knowing what to think in his mind. For such a long time, his life has been spent in the morning court and handling various government affairs. He is really bored. The reason for persisting is all the ambitions in his heart. However, there have been more trivial matters in recent times, especially Linzhou's affairs have been entangled with him, making him unable to let go. After hearing about the martial arts conference a few days ago, he had the urge to participate. However, there are still three months left, and the swallow, who has no information for half a year, suddenly has news, which makes his head feel even more confused. There are so many things piled up together, and I don't know what to do.

"If you have nothing to do, you'd better practice martial arts. Your mood is too unstable now." The old chef appeared behind him and said expressionlessly.

Li Ming smiled bitterly and followed him into his practice room.

Since he resumed martial arts half a year ago, the old chef has been forcing him to take time to practice martial arts from time to time. In the eyes of the old chef, no national affairs are important. What is important is Li Ming's safety and his martial arts. At the advice of the old chef, Li Ming gave up the practice of Taiqing Gong of the Lin family and started practicing the Yijin Jing. After half a year, Li Ming, who had just gained a glimpse of the martial arts realm, successfully broke through the third level of mental method and tied it with him in terms of progress. However, due to the strange feelings and insights when he was resuming his martial arts retreat, his current martial arts realm is no match for the past, and his progress in practicing internal skills has also become much faster. Because of the foundation of the tenth level of Taiqing Gong, his internal skills foundation has become very solid.

The secret room is located on the side of the Hewu Garden. Every time you enter, the guards have to set up a defense outside. Today, Li Ming, who is in a little irritable, is preparing to go into seclusion for a few days to calm down his chaotic mood.

After explaining the work to B, the old chef closed the door of the secret room.
