Li Qingcheng walked out of the Five City Military Command.

He held Li Jintang's shoulder with both hands, "Thank you, second brother." He had always had a bad impression of Li Jintang, but if Li Jintang had not mediated it today, he would not have come out so smoothly.

Li Jintang said, "You should go to Uncle Xie. Although I am the city official of the Five City Military and Ma Si, I have the Governor's Office, the Government Office, and the Jinling Guard. These people are all higher than me, so be careful in their future."

Li Qingcheng understood what he meant, and did not say much, and left directly. Before leaving, Li Jintang said, "You owe me a favor."

Li Qingcheng waved his hand, "I won't return it."

He did not return to the Li family, but returned to the pleasure boat. After Li Jinping learned that he had been arrested by the government office, he was worried and afraid for a while. When he saw him come back, his heart fell to his feet.

Seeing that her face was pretty good, Li Qingcheng said, "I have killed the murderer who shot you."

Li Jinping said, "Brother Li, there is no need to take risks because of me. I am already very satisfied to be able to come to Jinling with you."

"Since I promised Dad Li, I will naturally not break my trust. What's more, they came to me. If I don't kill them, there will be endless trouble in the future." Li Qingcheng looked at her affectionately and said, "Jin Ping, my situation in Jinling is not as good as you think. Bringing you here will make you worry and be afraid."

Li Jinping said, "It's worth it even if you die."

Li Qingcheng pretended to be angry and said, "Don't say such nonsense in the future!"

The two of them had a conversation. Li Jinping's injuries had not healed and his face showed fatigue. Li Qingcheng ordered someone to take good care of him and walked out of the pleasure boat.

Xiao Jinyan waited on the shore for a long time, and the first thing he said when he met was, "I thought about it for a long time and felt that these things were strange."

Li Qingcheng asked, "How do you say this?"

Xiao Jinyan poured a glass of wine, handed it over, and analyzed, "Before we arrived in Jinling, we met the wooden killer of Hongxingtang and hired you to kill yourself. At first I thought it was funny, but then when I thought about it, I always felt something was wrong."

"What if it's a coincidence?"

"The Longhu Hall and the assassination of the Lingnan Sword Sect are unreasonable," Xiao Jinyan said, "Let's change the perspective. What would you do if I were your third uncle and wanted to kill you, or if you didn't let you become the head of the family?"

Li Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Or I would send someone to kill me in secret, but this will inevitably make my father follow me. There are not many people in this world who can kill me, so it should not be difficult to find them. Another possibility is that in the presbyterian church after worshiping ancestors, I will block this matter. As long as more than six elders disagree, I have to accept the challenge if I want to inherit the position of head of the family."

“What challenge?”

"There are nineteen people in the Presbyterian Church in the clan. If more than one-third of them oppose it, I have to compete with the people in the nineteen rooms. Of course, those who agree will not send people, but those who oppose it can send elites in the clan to fight with me."

"Not counting life and death?"

"No matter how life or death is."

"How sure are you?"

Li Qingcheng said, "The Li family in Jinling, the crouching tiger and hidden dragon. The three sword servants I know are no less powerful than me in martial arts, and there are several swords and sword figures in my hands, but most of these people obey my father's orders, but it is not ruled out that there will be masters in the other rooms."

"In this way, they can kill you openly according to the clan rules?"

"The position of the head of the Li family has never been so easy to take. Even the people within us can't handle it, so how can we gain a foothold in the world? So this ancestral teaching has always been adhered to."

Xiao Jinyan nodded, "In this way, the matter will be explained." He analyzed, "If I were Li Xiaoshu, I would definitely contact other elders secretly and let them oppose you in the Presbyterian Church. As long as there are more than six people, it will be enough to prevent you from succeeding to the throne."

Li Qingcheng said, "I didn't think about these things."

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "This is the reason why I came to Jinling. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know how much you died. So if you have money in the future, you should remember to score half of me."

"Be serious!"

"Let me analyze it. The assassination of the wooden killer will let you know. The purpose is to let you relax your vigilance, which can be left unchanged. However, the matter between the Longhu Hall and the Lingnan Sword Sect has other profound meanings. Your third uncle knows that you have a relationship with Li Jinping, so he deliberately sends the Longhu Hall to suppress Li Jinping, with the purpose of angering you and letting you start a massacre. As we all know, the Longhu Hall is your family's property. You destroyed the Longhu Hall and moved the interests of the tribe because of a woman. This is a taboo in your family. The Third Young Master killed people regardless of the overall situation. If you are the head of the family, who will rely on your Li family in the future? Destroying your reputation in the Li family will make some people in the Presbyterian Church suspicious of your ability. This is one of them."

"Although the government has not said anything about killing the Lingnan Sword Sect, the whole world knows that it was you, Li Qingcheng. After all, the Lingnan Sword Sect is a famous and upright sect, and has a lot of alliances in the world. Before you have real evidence, you will kill fellow practitioners in the world with your loyalty. This will affect your image in the world. The Li family is a martial arts family and plays the role of maintaining justice and order in the world. But if the head of the family is a bloodthirsty person, which sects will listen to the Li family in the future? This is the second. What's more, just as the assassination today, Zhao Ya got the news of the Lingnan Sword Sect, and Li Jintang would appear in Wuyi Lane so coincidentally. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"Some things and every move we enter the city will spread all the wind and rain in Jinling City. In this way, some people are secretly promoting the fire. We have been doing this before, and we have already fallen into the trap. If we guess correctly, these are just smoke that confuses you. The real fatal blow to you should be during the great sacrifice to ancestors."

After listening to Xiao Jinyan's analysis, Li Qingcheng felt a chill on his back. After entering the city, he felt that it was his own territory and he could act on his own loyalty. Moreover, because of Li Jinping's affairs, the judgments and decisions he made were easily led by others.

Walking with the nose.

"You make sense."

Xiao Jinyan said, "I can see these clearly, not only because I am smarter than you, but also because you are a fan of the authorities."

Li Qingcheng was speechless, "When is it now? I haven't forgotten to step on me a few times? What should I do next?"

"I followed the two clues of Hongxingtang and Lingnan Sword Sect. If you can't get in touch with the internal affairs of the Li family here, you'd better go home."

Li Qingcheng took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said calmly, "I, Li Qingcheng, the luckiest thing in my life is to make you a friend. When this matter is done, I will give you ten taels of silver."

Xiao Jinyan said, "We are worth the money in friendship? I might as well go to Hongxingtang and kill you, and there are still 45 taels!"

Even though he was joking, Xiao Jinyan still reminded him, "Make the worst plan and practice the sword well, it is more effective than anything else. All conspiracies have been used up, and in the end they have to speak the sword in their hands."

Li Qingcheng admitted that, after he got the Qingcheng Sword Score, he studied it all the way with Xiao Jinyan, but he never knew the method. Those strange words were tantamount to the Book of Heaven. With his current martial arts cultivation, he was enough to be ranked in the Heavenly List in the Xiaosheng River and Lake, but the rivers and lakes were too big. Who knows if there is a fairy in which cave? Especially when he traveled west, the more he saw, the more he felt that the reputation of the Jianghu was really nothing. The size of the reputation had nothing to do with the level of martial arts. The expert on the Tianlong List might die in the hands of the woodcutter who chopped woodcutting wood, such as Lu Qingfeng, who appeared in Yinyang City. His sword was enough to kill the master of Zhixuan Middle and upper realm, but he was still unknown in the Jianghu.

Mysterious and unknown make people feel awe.

Li Qingcheng no longer arrogant, but began to face the environment he was in and began to pay attention to all his opponents. The change in his mind is more important than practicing any peerless sword score.

The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.

Jinling, which seemed calm, was actually like a giant beast lurking in the dark. He was waiting for the opportunity to give him a fatal blow, conspiracy, and conspiracy. Instead of trusting anyone and hiding alone on the Qinhuai River, it is better to take advantage of the situation. He said to Xiao Jinyan, "I decided to take Li Jinping home, and I will leave this pleasure boat to you for the time being."

"Okay. Remember, I asked you to help me with something."

"What's up?"

Xiao Jinyan pointed to the east, where the palace was located. Xiao Jinyan asked him to get a map of the palace, and after getting familiar with it, he would find time to sneak in again.

"I understand." Li Qingcheng said, and then said, "There are too many women, don't stolen yourself."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Do you think I am such a person? Is that person? Is it a person??"

"I said this for Yu Wenshuang."

...

A carriage was parked in Shanhefang, south of the city.

There is only one family in Shanhefang, that is the Li family in Jinling. A two-meter-wide street is surrounded by hundreds of houses, which are continuous and connected into one.

The head of the four major families, with more than 10,000 people, rich enough to rival a country, martial arts world, swordsmanship, evergreen trees in the officialdom, any name that can be taken out is enough to make the world admire Li family, from the outside, looks like an ordinary wealthy family.

There is no golden plaque like Yujian Villa, nor is there a towering inner city like Tangmen in Shu. It is built against the mountains and rivers and next to the city. If anyone who understands Feng Shui looks at it, he will know that this continuous mansion is like a lie-down dragon, lying in the north of Jinling City, echoing the imperial palace in the east of the city. It is an excellent Feng Shui treasure land.

The ancestral hall, clan school, martial arts field, sword tower, bookstore, and guest hall are distributed on both sides of the long street, hidden among the ancient pines and cypresses. It does not look luxurious, but also exudes a simple and heavy charm. It is far away from the downtown city in the city, quiet and deep.

This is the foundation of the family for hundreds of years.

Li Qingcheng drove on the street, which caused a lot of sensation. The young master who was "studying" left home for two years and finally came back.

"The Third Young Master, I haven't seen him for several years, but I'm so worried about it. When will I have time? Let's have two drinks and I'll treat you!" A middle-aged man saw him and rushed out of the street and said with a smile.

Li Qingcheng smiled and said, "Li Qingguang, do you have money? Are you not afraid of your wife knowing?"

This person's surname is Li Qingguang. He is a child of a clan from Jiufang. He has a low status in the clan, but he is very famous because he has a Dongshishi in his family and often quarrels with neighbors.

Li Qingguang said with his chest straight, "If that mother knew that I would treat the third young master to dinner, she would be eager to open the golden box for me to use it casually. Besides, in the whole Ninth Room, who doesn't know that Li Qingguang is the only one at home? My wife is cleaned up by me, and I have the final say in the big things at home. If I say I go to the east, she will never dare to go to the west..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman stood at the door and shouted, "Li Qingguang asked you to buy jealousy, why are you talking on the street?"

Li Qingcheng said, "A big deal?"

Li Qingguang said, "Yes, eating dumplings at night is the top priority now, buying vinegar!" He turned around and shouted, "Stinky girls, why are you shouting? If you don't fight for three days, have you gone to the room to remove the tiles?"

When the woman heard that it was hot, she walked out of the yard with a rolling pin, "I'm against you!" As soon as she went out, she saw Li Qingcheng in the car, and changed her face, "Oh, it turns out that the Third Young Master is back, a damn ghost, why are you standing there? Why don't you invite the Third Young Master to come to the house quickly?"

"Sister-in-law, I'll go home first."

"That's right, that's right. When you have time, come and play, the old man always talks about you!"

After saying that, he grabbed Li Qingguang's ear and said, "I asked you to scold me in front of the young master, let you scold me, get out of the house."

As we move forward, people keep coming out to say hello, some are shouting "Three Young Masters", some are shouting "Young Masters". The former is a child in the clan, while the latter is a child of the eldest son. Passing by the clan

At that time, some young men who had never seen Li Qingcheng stood at the door and pointed, as if they were respectful and afraid of this famous young man.

An old man who looked like a master walked out, "You little guys, you guys, haven't been in to study yet, and they have delayed their progress, so no one can think of going to school!"

When Li Qingcheng saw the old man, he turned over and got out of the car and saluted the old man, "Nephew Li Qingcheng, have you seen uncle!"

The old man's surname is Li Mengyang. He was once the Imperial College Supervisor. He was a famous literary figure in the dynasty. In the previous dynasty, his literary style was weak and the style of the Pavilion was popular. He once mentioned the saying "restored the ancient style of the Han and Wei Dynasty, and followed the poems by Qin and Han dynasties" and led a vigorous ancient Chinese movement. Li Mengyang had many students in the court. After retiring, he had been teaching in the clan school. He also taught Li Qingcheng's knowledge back then. Li Qingcheng was naughty when he was young and ate his boards a lot. He respected and afraid of this teacher.

Li Mengyang looked up and down and said, "I haven't seen each other for two years, has my knowledge been lost?"

Li Qingcheng's life has been in danger in the past two years, so he has no time to study. However, this teacher is known for his strictness and rigidity, so he dares to contradict him, saying: "Students dare not neglect."

Li Mengyang said, "Those who travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books are not good enough to travel around mountains and rivers, and don't do their best to do their jobs. You must know that reading is the foundation of building a family. My Li family builds a family through writing and writing, so you must not relax."

Li Qingcheng thought to myself that I would not participate in the imperial examinations, so I could just read some idle books to cultivate my sentiment, but I kept saying that.

"I'll come to the library tomorrow morning. I'll take the exam for your studies."

When Li Qingcheng heard this, he became overwhelmed. Fortunately, he saw the butler Li Ruliang coming over, and felt relieved. He bid farewell to the teacher and went to meet the butler.

Butler Li whispered, "Young Master, you know you are in a bad mood when you are back home. You have to be careful." He glanced at the carriage again, "It's..."

Li Qingcheng said, "My confidant."

Mr. Li said, "Is it the one in Changzhou? The master is angry at this moment. Why don't I arrange it in the guesthouse or other courtyard first, and wait?"

"No need, I'll take her home."

Butler Li showed a look of embarrassment, but seeing Li Qingcheng insisted, he did not dare to disobey. He led the carriage to the gate and asked him to wait and go in and report.
