Chapter 6 Guarding the Old Song
Prince Zhao Qi took the cold marrow scales. Although the medicine was not correct, the spiritual pill was a spiritual pill after all, and he suddenly became much more awake. He said with his tongue wide, "Brother... Brother, I feel dizzy after drinking this wine... I feel so comfortable." He felt relaxed all over. Li Qiang said, "Qi'er, you have drunk too much. You are drunk the first time you drink. You are really good."
Meng Fan asked, "Brother Li, the spiritual pill just now was a cold marrow scale - a holy medicine for detoxification?"
Li Qiang nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Meng has a good vision." He didn't know that Han Zhi Scale has such a great reputation.
Meng Fan hesitated for a moment and asked others for a elixir when he first met. With his personality, it was really hard to say. He kept aiming at Zheng Peng, hoping that he would ask for it. Helplessly, Zheng Peng only talked to Na Shan and did not understand the intention of his senior brother at all. Moreover, he didn't know that his senior brother wanted a elixir.
Meng Fan thought for a while, took out a handful of ink-colored beads, each of which was the size of a soybean, and said, "Brother Li, have you seen this?" Li Qiang's experience was special. Unlike other cultivators who have systematically learned to identify treasures. He didn't know much about treasures in the cultivation world. He scratched his head: "Haha, Brother Meng, sorry, what is this?"
Meng Fan almost vomited blood. He didn't know such a famous treasure. Zheng Peng then noticed his senior brother's strange behavior and said strangely: "Senior brother, why are you using Pilizi?" Li Qiang picked up one and asked, "Pilizi? What's the purpose?" Meng Fan's eyes were about to pop out. He saw that Li Qiang's cultivation level was not low, but he didn't even know the famous Pilizi. The Pilizi in Yinlei Pavilion is a famous treasure on Fengyuanxing. He could not be refined by no masters of Yinlei Pavilion.
Zheng Peng explained: "Pilizi is a treasure that collects the strong aura condensed from the Yan Star, which can resist the thunder fire of the demon. Only a few people in our Hidden Thunder Pavilion can refine it. My senior brother took a lot of effort to refine a gourd Pilizi. Hey, senior brother, why are you using Pilizi?" Meng Fan said: "Uh, this... I want to exchange cold marrow scales with Brother Li." He still couldn't help but say it.
Li Qiang smiled: "Brother Meng, there is no need to do this. Here are three cold marrow scales." He handed out the elixir with pleasure, but did not take Pilizi, which made Meng Fan a little embarrassed. He smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, this is the gift we met for the first time. I, Meng Fan, cannot receive the reward without merit."
Zheng Peng suddenly realized and said, "Brother, just take it, don't make my senior brother embarrassed."
Li Qiang smiled slightly and said, "Haha, Brother Meng, is anyone poisoned?" He took Pilizi casually and changed the topic. Meng Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He rarely asked for help. He was really afraid that Li Qiang would not accept Pilizi. It would be a bad feeling for owing this favor debt. He said, "It's a good friend of Shan Wife, so I'll ask me to find a good detoxification pill." Zheng Peng said, "It turns out that my sister-in-law wants it."
Only then did Li Qiang realize that he was also a dual cultivation, and he couldn't help but think of Yun Yu again, looking a little dazed.
Nashan touched his bald head, blinked his one-eye, and said strangely: "The cultivator also has a wife?" Zheng Peng was much taller than Nashan. He waved his hand and slapped Nashan on the shoulder, and smiled: "I don't even know this? I tell you, this is called dual cultivation - dual cultivation of the same master, do you understand?" This slap almost slapped Nashan into the belly of the table, and Nashan was so angry that he hummed.
Li Qiang asked: "Brother Meng, do you understand the situation in Huiheng Palace?"
Meng Fan was in a good mood because he found the Detox Spirit Pill, so he laughed casually: "Brother Li is interested in Huiheng Palace? Haha, no wonder, most of the cultivators in Huiheng Palace are women, you won't be interested in anyone, right?" Unexpectedly, he happened to hit Li Qiang's thoughts.
Li Qiang nodded without any concealment and said, "Yes, I have a fate with one of them, so I want to know the situation."
Not to mention Meng Fan, even Na Shan and Zhao Zhi were stunned. This was too straightforward. How could they know that Li Qiang had been practicing dual cultivation of the Nascent Soul and could not forget that unforgettable feeling. He didn't care what others thought, but just thought that he would find Yun Yu no matter what. When he thought of her cute little Nascent Soul, Li Qiang couldn't help but smile.
Nashan touched the bald head at a loss. Suddenly, he saw Li Qiang smile gently, even his eyes looked very confused. He couldn't help but scream: "Wow! The boss misses women... Uh, young master, I..." He had been slapped on the bald head. Li Qiang scolded: "What do you mean to miss women? Damn, it's really vulgar! I'm cultivating feelings, do you understand?"
Tange praised: "After all, it's the boss, it's really unique, admire! Admiration!"
Zhao Zhi suddenly shivered and grinned, "It's so cold, I can't stand it."
Several people looked at each other and laughed.
Only Zhao Qi didn't know what they were talking about, he was already asleep on the table.
Li Qiang shook his head and said indifferently: "It's so rare and weird. What's so funny about this? Well, Brother Meng, please give me some advice. I don't know the situation in Huiheng Palace."
Not only did he feel embarrassed, he also laughed at them. Meng Fan had never seen such a free and easy cultivator, and he became interested in him. He smiled and said, "Huiheng Palace is a major sect in Fengyuanxing. There are many female disciples in this sect. This sect cannot help but practice dual cultivation. However, Huiheng Palace has a rule that anyone who wants to practice dual cultivation with the female disciples of Huiheng Palace must make certain contributions to Huiheng Palace, and must pass the test of several elders of Huiheng Palace to win the return of a beauty. As long as there is a little mistake, hehe, it will definitely be ruined. Do you know? There are two sects in Fengyuanxing that are very special, one is Chongxuan Sect and the other is Huiheng Palace. Chongxuan Sect has an unparalleled level of refining weapons and a special way of teaching disciples, with huge potential power, and Huiheng Palace* is dual cultivation..."
Li Qiang understood that the power of Huiheng Palace lies in the person who practiced dual cultivation with female disciples. As long as each sect has outstanding disciples and Huiheng Palace disciples, it means that this master will be used by Huiheng Palace. Its power is not great. No wonder when she first met Yun Yu's sister, her senior sister Ye Fengling would talk about the name of Huiheng Palace.
Meng Fan asked curiously: "Who are Brother Li interested in?"
As soon as these words were said, except for Zhao Qi who was sleeping, the eyes of several people were all aimed at Li Qiang, and they were very curious: What kind of woman is it that makes him fascinated? Li Qiang laughed and said, "What are you doing? Don't be too curious? Is it good? The people I like, what does it have to do with you?"
The five people's appetite was suddenly suffocated, and Nashan begged, "Hi, let's talk, I, Lao Na, have never wanted to know something so much, just satisfy our little wish... Who do you like?"
Li Qiang said mysteriously: "Okay, just say it once..." The five people nodded repeatedly and looked at him with eager eyes.
"It's a girl from Huiheng Palace, but you don't know each other. Okay, don't ask again in the future."
The five were almost pissed to death by him.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, how many days will Brother Meng stay in the capital?" He cunningly changed the topic.
Meng Fan said, "I was going to find Chungu to seek elixir, but I didn't expect that there were cold marrow scales, which could be used. Thank you Brother Li. We will go back soon. Fengyuanxing has been doing a lot recently. I heard that the Holy City has issued an order. I don't know what it is. We have to rush back to Yinlei Pavilion to listen to the news."
Li Qiang said: "Holy City? Is Yunxiao Holy City? Why is it called an order?"
Meng Fan felt very strange. Why didn't Li Qiang know anything? He nodded and said, "The Holy City is Yunxiao Holy City. Its status in Fengyuanxing is higher than that of the seven major sects, and its strength is unfathomable. No sect dares to disobey the Holy City's orders. Therefore, as long as the Holy City issues the orders, it must be no trivial."
Li Qiang asked: "The ranking of Fengyuanxing's sects is confusing. Isn't Yunxiao Holy City ranked first? Are you afraid that other sects will challenge its status?" Meng Fan said: "It's not counted that way. Generally, the seven major sects mentioned in Fengyuanxing can also include Yunxiao Holy City, or not. In fact, the seven major sects on Fengyuanxing do not include Yunxiao Holy City, and the holy city is not on Fengyuanxing. Only Tianyuancheng is its territory on Fengyuanxing. The real seven major sects on Fengyuanxing are Haiyuanxuan, Chongxuan Sect, Huiheng Palace, Fire Flame Palace, Yinlei Pavilion, Ancient Sword Court and Hanmo Jinshan Fort."
Li Qiang said: "So that's the case. One to seven, which means that the strength of Yunxiao Holy City can compete with the joint forces of the seven major sects. It's really amazing." Meng Fan said: "One to seven is not necessarily comparable. According to legend, Yunxiao Holy City has immortals, but no one can confirm it."
Li Qiang nodded slightly because he had seen the immortal. Thinking about the immortal's strength, he felt terrifying, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Tange kept eating wildly. He praised the food of Tiantingxing and loved it very much. Nashan, Zhao Zhi and Zheng Peng were both burly men, and they were all burly men. They were all unambiguous when they were eating. With one chopstick, they saw the bottom of the dish. The plates on the table were stacked with layers of Lao Gao, and the other two still looked unchanged. They continued to eat, ignoring what Li Qiang and Meng Fan were talking about.
Suddenly there was a noise, and the sound of rapid footsteps sounded at the stairs. Even Zhao Qi who was sleeping was awakened. He asked in a daze: "What's the matter?" Li Qiang smiled and comforted: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about anything, you have your brother here."
A large group of palace guards came up, leading the people dressed in first-class guard costumes. He looked around and his eyes fell on Li Qiang and the others. He walked up quickly and saluted, "Prince, the emperor has an order, please return to the palace."
The elegant seat suddenly became silent. No one expected that the prince would run to the Alum Tower to drink in a vain. Li Qiang knew that there was a problem, but it was not an emergency, so the guards dared not disturb him. He sent a message: "Is there a problem in the palace? Just nod, don't shake your head, don't disturb outsiders."
The guard nodded slowly. Li Qiang cursed in his heart, and he couldn't even have a meal. He didn't know who was making trouble. He stood up and said to Meng Fan: "Brother Meng, I'm really sorry, I have something to do. After I reach Fengyuanxing, I will visit you again."
Meng Fan was puzzled: Therefore, Song State is the territory of the Yuanshi Gate of Bada Xing. When did the Gu Jianyuan come here? He also stood up and saluted and said, "Okay, let's leave here, and we will see you again at Fengyuanxing."
Zheng Peng said, "Brother, when you see the big girl, you will be greeted by Heizi in the future, and there are also Mr. Zhao and Mr. Hou." He still remembered Hou Pijing, Mei Jingjing and Zhao Hao. Li Qiang nodded and said goodbye.
Several people followed the guard downstairs, and Li Qiang asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
The first-class guard whispered: "The man who made the curse was caught."
Li Qiang was not surprised. He knew that the person who had put the curse would not be able to help but attack again, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He asked, "Are our people injured?" The guard bowed and replied, "I have injured several guards, but they are not serious." Li Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back."
There was a guard who had already brought a horse downstairs. Li Qiang turned over the horse and suddenly a strange feeling surged in his heart, which was a familiar and intimate feeling. He hurriedly checked around.
Na Shan's eyes were sharp-eyed. Seeing that Li Qiang suddenly became absent-minded, he asked, "Boss, what's wrong?" Li Qiang felt that the feeling had gone away. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go!"
A group of people rode their horses and rushed towards the palace.
After entering the palace, the guards took Li Qiang and others straight to the Shuixuan Age where the matter was discussed. When they walked into the Age, they saw the emperor and the ministers of various departments and courts sitting in a room, and there were five or six people kneeling on the ground. The emperor was shouting loudly: "...Is it because I am sick? No one can care about you? It's a mess and I can't do anything well. Humph, if the Prince Zhongyong came back this time, I wouldn't have died indefinitely..."
The officials sitting there could no longer sit down, and they were so scared that they left their seats and knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. When the emperor saw Li Qiang and the prince come in, his anger immediately dissipated. He stood up to greet him in person, saying, "No gift! No gift! People come, show the seat for the prince." Li Qiang did not expect to give a big gift at all, and he didn't know that the emperor's words were to lower his steps.
The prince saluted respectfully and said, "The father's body is just so safe, so it's not advisable to be angry, so it's better to rest."
The emperor nodded and felt deeply relieved. He said slowly: "The following departments and courts will tell you the situation in order." Li Qiang sighed in his heart, it is not easy for the emperor to be a good person. It is really not easy to start handling state affairs when he is in good health.
The Privy Council first began to report on political, military, economic and criminal situations. Nashan and others fell asleep when they heard it, and they were not impressed by the boring content. However, Li Qiang listened with relish. He had always paid great attention to information, which was a habit he developed when doing business. It took more than two hours for the ministers to finish.
The emperor looked tired, and a palace maid gave him a soft towel. He wiped his face hard and said, "Get up, think about what I said before, go back to the department and court to review it yourself, you can kneel down first."
The ministers then breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed, "Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!" They stood up carefully and bowed to retreat. Li Qiang said, "Old Master Cheng, Feng He stayed." Cheng Zizhong and Lin Feng He both looked at the emperor, and the emperor nodded, and the two stood by carefully.
The emperor walked back and forth, and for a while, he said, "The prince left without saying goodbye last time, and this time he would help me no matter what." He looked up at Li Qiang. The prince also interrupted, "The prince is in charge of the palace, and this case will be found out soon." Li Qiang scratched his head. No matter what the emperor thought, he would never want to let him stay in the former Song State to interfere in the secular world. He thought for a while and said, "Cheng Zizhong has this ability, and Lin Fenghe can also help. This is an internal and not an external problem."
Everyone in the room was stunned. This was said too obvious. It was internal and not external troubles. In other words, the mantra was done by insiders of the court. The emperor asked: "How did the prince come to this conclusion?"
Li Qiang spread his hands and said with a smile: "Didn't all the departments and courts just now?" The emperor and the prince pondered, and Cheng Zizhong also lowered their heads and thought hard. Only Lin Fenghe asked in confusion: "I don't think they said anything. They are all the contents of the general court discussion, but this time it's a little more."
Li Qiang said: "Recent appointments and removals of officials, the operation of major institutions, the deployment and mobilization of the army... Think about all of these, and then think about the situation of the entire court after the emperor was cursed. Haha, isn't this enough?" He gave a brief reminder. Although he didn't know who did it, the people who were sitting were all extremely sensitive to power, so he naturally followed suit.
The emperor and the prince looked at each other and their faces became gloomy. Li Qiang's hint was enough. The emperor said: "The prince should not intervene too deeply in this matter..." He seemed very sad. Li Qiang comforted: "If the matter is revealed, you won't be afraid. After all, the curse and harm people have not succeeded." He stood smartly on a transcendent standpoint, and he had no interest in these palace fights.
As soon as Li Qiang relaxed, he remembered the feeling he felt when he walked out of the Alum Tower just now. He slapped his forehead and said in a daze: "I'm so stupid!" He was almost certain that it was Yun Yu. When he thought of Yun Yu, he couldn't help but giggle.
Li Qiang's actions made everyone in the room feel strange. He was not only rude, but also too presumptuous. The emperor and the prince didn't care, and knew that cultivators could not be seen by reason. The emperor asked: "If you have anything to say, let me enjoy it." Li Qiang woke up suddenly: This was a discussion in the palace, and he had lost his composure.
Unexpectedly, there was another person who didn't understand the rules of the palace than him. Na Shan laughed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the boss is thinking of women!" Li Qiang was almost mad at him. This kid was talking nonsense without looking at the occasion. Cheng Zi was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, staring at Na Shan in a daze. Lin Fenghe was also stunned. He couldn't imagine that someone would dare to speak in front of the emperor like this.
The emperor laughed: "So that's how it is, it's easy..."
When Li Qiang heard that the emperor's tone was wrong, it would be troublesome if he stuffed himself a lot of women. So he hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to him nonsense. It's not like that. It's like this. If it's internal trouble, the emperor should not delay it for a long time. He should act recklessly and stabilize the worship hall and the imperial guards, as well as the garrison outside, and act as secretly as possible. Another important thing is that you cannot implicate it on a large scale, as this will easily shake the foundation of the country..." He talked endlessly for more than half an hour, just to distract the words of the stinky brat.
The emperor listened with concentration and nodded frequently. Although many of the problems he had already thought of, it was very inspiring to him by Li Qiang's statement. The priorities of the matter and the solutions were all clear all at once. Li Qiang did not point out the specific solutions, but the emperor had a clear idea. According to this idea, the crisis could definitely be solved.
Li Qiang was sweating and poured out all of what he had just thought, just to divert the emperor's attention. He finally said, "Your Majesty should rest early. The poisonous curse has just been removed and it is not suitable to be tired. You can let Master Cheng and Feng do things together, and then let the worshipers in the worship hall assist.
The emperor smiled. He didn't expect Li Qiang to give an idea. He said, "Okay, that's it, I know it. Prince Zhongyong please go back to the house to rest, and everyone else kneels down."
As soon as he left the palace gate, Nashan ran away. He was not stupid, knowing that the boss was angry. Tange grabbed him and pretended to be unknown: "Old Na, why are you running? Let's go together." Nashan was so anxious that he sweated: "Old Tan, let go! Let go! Oh my god, the boss is here!"
Tange smiled and said, "What's wrong with the boss? Lao Na, have you offended the boss? It's okay, the boss is very good and will not bully you..." He said in a nagging manner, just not letting go.
Li Qiang walked over with a smile. Na Shan whimpered, "Tange, I killed you. Boss, please spare me!"
Li Qiang kicked his ass and cursed: "***, you kid will talk nonsense..." Na Shan hugged Tan Ge, blocking Li Qiang's second kick, and kicked Tan Ge accurately. Na Shan begged for mercy: "I dare not next time, I dare not next time, hehe, old Tan helps block it!"
Tange slapped Nashan's bald head and cursed, "You're here to harm me again!" The two of them twisted into a ball. Li Qiang looked at these two live treasures helplessly, and he couldn't be angry with them. He ordered a guard beside him to inform Zhao Hao and others, and asked all his brothers to return to the Holy King's Mansion, and then said, "Let's go!" He ignored Nashan and Tange.
Nashan and Tange immediately stopped fighting. Tange smiled and said, "Boss is gone, let's follow." Nashan smiled and patted Tange and said, "Thank you, brother. Oh, the boss seems to be really angry." Tange smiled and scolded, "Who told you boy to talk nonsense? Haha, I helped you this time, why do you thank me?"
Nashan grinned, "Brother, I'll show my gratitude."
Tange shouted, "I should say this! Alas, no wonder the boss wants to beat you. You kid deserves a beating."
The two of them talked and chased the team.
The Holy King's Mansion is not far from the palace. After Li Qiang entered the mansion, he immediately went to see Mo Huaiyuan.
When Li Qiang saw Mo Huaiyuan, he shouted: "Brother, please help me!"
Mo Huaiyuan was thinking about Taihaosuo in his hand. He heard Li Qiang screaming and smiled slightly: "What's wrong, what are you doing?" Li Qiang rushed to him and said hurriedly: "The Yuer who saved me is here to the capital. Brother, you have great magical powers. Check where she is. I want to find her... Hey, why is Taihaosuo in my hands?"
Mo Huaiyuan said, "Oh, Taihaosuo was caught by me when you were injured. This immortal weapon is so domineering. I was wondering what method to use to get you to use it." Li Qiang scratched his head and said, "I can't conquer it anyway. I don't have enough skills. If I can use it, I'll give it to you... Oh, let's help me find Yu'er first!"
Although Taihaosuo rescued Li Qiang many times, he still generously wanted to give it to Mo Huaiyuan. The magic weapon really doesn't matter to him. Mo Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "I will reincarnate and re-cultivate in the future. I can't take away everything. This immortal weapon is useless to me. When I think of a solution, you should take it away."
Li Qiang dragged over a chair, sat down and said, "Don't worry about the too-blooded shuttle, please help me find someone!"
Mo Huaiyuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, the girl from Huiheng Palace dares not reject my brother. You can just go to Huiheng Palace to ask for someone in the future. Haha, brothers are so impatient." Li Qiang didn't know the origin of Mo Huaiyuan and Huiheng Palace, and he didn't like bullying others with power, especially in love, otherwise it would be boring to get there.
Li Qiang said: "I just asked my brother to help me find someone. Don't interfere in other matters. Brothers have their own opinions."
Mo Huaiyuan nodded. He had a very deep experience and knew that Li Qiang was telling the truth. Putting away Taihao Shuo, he entered into a state of meditation.
Li Qiang knew that he was searching for a large scale with his divine thoughts. If a cultivator does this, it will greatly damage his vitality. It doesn’t matter if the immortals are scattered, and his skills are enough to make ends meet.
Li Qiang took out a jade pupil and looked it carefully. It was picked up in the Great Illusion Buddha Realm. He knew that he knew too little, so he took out the collected jade pupils to learn whenever he had time.
After a while, Mo Huaiyuan opened his eyes and said, "It's a pity that she has left and is no longer in the capital."
Li Qiang patted his forehead and sighed, "It's really strange. I feel like I've been practicing with all my heart. Why are I still moved? Brother, don't laugh, I really feel like a first love, even ten times stronger. What's going on?" He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, not knowing whether it was joy or trouble.
Mo Huaiyuan laughed in his heart. This is the power of the dual cultivation of the Nascent Soul.
